Assistant U.S. Attorneys for the Southern District of Florida and their counterparts at the Department of Justice helped the U.S. government on Monday extradite former Panamanian President Ricardo Alberto Martinelli Berrocal to stand trial in his country.

Martinelli Berrocal was Panama’s president from 2009 to 2014, before fleeing the Central American country. Federal agencies say the 66-year-old lived in Coral Gables, but other sources, like Newsroom Panama link him to a home on Brickell Avenue in Miami’s Financial District. He faces embezzlement charges and allegations he wiretapped judges, political rivals and others while in office.
