Criminologist Eduardo Montenegro refers to the assassins: ‘they are cold and calculating people’

The lawyer and criminologist, Eduardo Montenegro, referred this Monday to the modality of contract killings in Panama and indicated the profile of these people who commit this type of crime.

He stressed that the hitmen are no longer foreigners as had been thought, but now they pay Panamanians to commit this type of crime.

“This is a modality that dates back to organized crime because it is very versatile, it is a dynamic way of committing an act, in the sense that the person using a motorcycle can have a quicker escape, which is what the criminal is looking for, escape, be anonymous,” he said.

Montenegro explained that people with this profile are cold, calculating; this implies a follow-up, surveillance of a person to commit the act, and in this part organized crime is seen.
