Panama considered one of ideal countries for removal according to Forbes, is also one of the most corrupt countries of America and this is considerably insecure as a result. An example of the current situation in Panama is a story of a young native of Boquete, this story was published in this video from CNN as well as Youtube. The young man who suffers from a brain tumor has as a retired police captain tried to obtain money from the young man to offer to be bribed and thus get a drivers license to the young Panamanian. This refused to pay the sum that the retired captain demanded you, that was of 1000 dollars, the captain harassed the victim repeatedly to get money, then that it did not achieve its purpose, the victim suffered an attempt of kidnapping from which I was able to escape. Recounts as 6 people came to his home, he called the police that was presented when the criminals already left the scene, police used the excuse that the troops police were new and did not know the area.

The young victim does not know if this incident is related to the retired police captain, but have suspicions. The captain took advantage of that victim was sick and vulnerable, threatening to take the country if he did not pay the sum that he required. This is only one case on corruption cases that exist in Panama, former Ambassador of United States in Panama referred to this theme in 2008, according to him, the issue of corruption becomes a cultural matter since people who are in power using the influences that have, are able to manipulate and influence in various social spheres, and people who are bribed by them due to the lack of economic resources, yield easily. This situation is that the Panamanian society becomes a corrupt society because corruption comes from the highest spheres of society and influences even in children who take this as normal behavior.
