Criminal Proceedings Arising from Bankruptcy

In Panama, certain acts related to insolvency proceedings may give rise to criminal liability, particularly when there are indications of fraud, concealment of assets, falsification of information, disloyal administration, or intentional harm to creditors. Both business owners and administrators may face legal consequences if the process is not handled transparently and in accordance with the law. Specialized legal advice is essential to prevent risks, mount an appropriate defense, or pursue criminal actions when bankruptcy has been improperly used to cause harm.

• Bankruptcy may generate criminal liability
