Firms from Spain, Italy, China 'bridge Panama gap left by Odebrecht'

Construction firms from Spain, Italy and China are interested in public works in Panama, Vice President Isabel Saint Malo said, filling a gap left by Brazil’s Odebrecht, which is banned from tendering in the wake of a graft scandal.

“Latin America and Panama needs companies to understand that my country will no longer permit corruption in public works. There will be consequences,” Saint Malo said.
