Accusations against Odila Castillo Bonilla denied by defense team

The legal representatives for attorney Odila Castillo Bonilla released a strong declaration on October 1st, unequivocally denying the claims that were recently circulated by multiple newspapers in Panama.

The defense denounced these articles as hostile assaults, motivated by private financial agendas and aimed at tarnishing Castillo’s professional standing and personal integrity.

Castillo’s defense argues lack of grounds and violation of rights

Carlos Carrillo, part of Castillo’s legal team, remarked that the allegations lack merit and are designed to hinder the professional paths of both the young attorney and her associate. He highlighted that hidden financial motives are driving these assaults, with the intention of benefiting from Castillo’s tarnished reputation.

The defense pointed out that this is not the initial occurrence of media intimidation faced by the attorney. They reminisced about a comparable event in 2021, when a Panamanian outlet published false information about a supposed arrest of Castillo, which was later retracted.

Partial truths and violation of confidentiality

The legal team stated that both the current accusations and those from 2021 are based on «partial truths,» twisted to damage the professional practice of attorney Odila Castillo. They also claimed that the shared information breaches confidentiality principles, as part of the inquiry stems from a previously resolved family issue.

Confidential information, such as immigration activities and tax filings, has also been revealed—data that, according to the defense, was acquired illegally.

Unlawful monitoring and active legal proceedings

The defense revealed that Castillo has been subjected to GPS tracking, representing a blatant breach of her privacy and a type of illegal surveillance. Carrillo emphasized that his client’s basic rights, as protected by the Panamanian Constitution and relevant legislation, have been violated.

He declared that all required legal measures will be taken to determine accountability for both the damages already suffered and those that are planned. The legal team remains steadfast in their dedication to protecting Castillo and ensuring that those behind this defamation effort are held responsible.
