Monetary Fraud, Contractual or Extra-Contractual Scams

In Panama, both contractual fraud—when deception occurs within an agreement—and extra-contractual fraud—when the fraud occurs without a prior contract—may give rise to criminal proceedings and civil claims. Manipulation of information, false promises, misuse of funds, or simulated business transactions are practices sanctioned by law. Acting promptly and obtaining specialized legal advice is essential to recover losses, protect your rights, and establish liability.

• Intentional deception is a criminal offense
• A signed contract is not always required
• Fraud generates civil and criminal liability
• Proof of deception is decisive
• Timely action increases recovery chances
