A case unfolding in Mallorca links Mario EG with Ricardo Martinelli, the former president of Panama, amid accusations of surveillance on a woman and related actions that were brought before a judge. According to the statements presented in court, Martinelli allegedly kept a close watch on the situation, maintaining oversight around the clock. The testimony described a system where control and monitoring were constant, with the impression that Martinelli was aware of every move and every detail. The defendant in the proceedings indicated that Martinelli directed the flow of funds dedicated to the woman’s expenses on the island, and suggested that the complaint arose as retaliation for not covering a yacht charter. He claimed that Martinelli cut off funds at a critical moment, causing discomfort and adding tension to the case, while denying illegal activity.
In a forensic interview obtained by this newspaper, Mario EG explained that he met the woman in 2013 and later carried out what he termed “surveillance services” over several years. He asserted that Martinelli financed all expenses, describing the arrangement as comfortable and secure. The money reportedly arrived through intermediaries to cover the complainant’s holidays in Mallorca.
The suspect maintained that the surveillance and monitoring conducted in the summer of 2020 had the woman’s consent. He claimed that she knew tracking would occur and that Martinelli had been watched from the moment he entered the relationship. If she wanted proximity, she would need to share her location every quarter hour and provide access credentials to her mobile device. He acknowledged being responsible for distributing funds that Martinelli sent to other members of the operation, including four civilian guards. The defendant remarked that Martinelli was surrounded by associates who could be described as unreliable at best, suggesting that none would earn more than a modest amount. He denied using tracking beacons to monitor movements or having knowledge of illegal actions by the Civil Guard agents involved.
Mario EG attributed the August 2020 complaint to a motive of revenge, suggesting that the anger stemmed from the yacht trip to Ibiza not being paid for. He stated that anger arose from an unresolved financial arrangement and that circumstances spiraled beyond control. He characterized the episode as a chain of unintended consequences rather than a deliberate plan, emphasizing that they should not have been in such a scenario.
This individual remains the sole person in pre-trial detention facing charges that include membership in a criminal organization, harassment, bribery, and disclosure of secrets. A second Civil Guard agent connected to the case was released this week, with counsel arguing the matter. The court overseeing the investigation set a bail of 30,000 euros for the defendant.
In a broader development, the summer of 2020 saw the involvement of the former Panamanian president, four Civil Guard officers, and six additional individuals in accusations of spying on women in Mallorca. The case has drawn scrutiny of the formal mechanisms that govern surveillance, privacy, and the boundaries of authority within the region’s security services.
Civil guards suspended from work and pay
The Civil Guard authority announced the suspension of employment and wages for four officers charged with spying on women. The disciplinary process describes the alleged crimes as serious, highlighting media attention and potential damage to the institution’s reputation. The standard suspension period is set at three months, with the possibility of extension depending on the ongoing review and findings.
