CSSN News- July 18, 2019 – Recent events in Panama

CSSN NewsCSSN has just issued a firsthand ALERT, describing an armed robbery that occurred In Bahia Nombre de Dios on July 13, 2019. Earlier, a similar armed robbery event had occurred in Linton Bay (July 11, 2019). Both robbery reports are now firsthand as victims were able to regain communications and work with us to complete their reports. A third incident of attempted theft, also on July 13, 2019, also in Linton Bay has  been recently published.

Unfortunately, a few ALERTS were distributed about the second robbery, while it was in (preliminary) secondhand status. The current firsthand report replaces it in its entirety. The CSSN team apologizes for any confusion that occurred.

CSSN has verified a limited number of facts with the victims’ designated representative. The situation remains dynamic as the investigation by Panamanian authorities moves forward, and the legal process follows.

Three pirates boarded the family yacht, located near Dad Naggwe Dubbir island in the Guna Yala/San Blas islands of Panama in the early hours of May 2, 2019. The captain died of wounds received in the attack, and other family members were injured. Three suspects were taken into custody in the Colon jurisdiction.

Multiple press reports contain information that has not been verified (some of it inconsistent), but might be considered helpful, particularly those portions attributed by direct quote to family members.
