Panama's fugitive former president, Ricardo Martinelli Berrocal, still seeking to bond out, while his extradition case is pending, has apparently called in a political favor in Miami, where he has been living since he fled Panama, reportedly just ahead of multiple criminal charges. Tomás Regulado, the Mayor of Miami, filed a letter with the Court, seeking Martinelli's release on bond, asserting that he needed to be home, for health reasons. It is unclear why this letter was written; Martinelli has had an active social life in Miami, since his arrival two years ago, and there have been no reports of health issues.
