Tempers Flare as Panama Hotel Owners Try to Oust Trump Company

The country’s Public Ministry said in a brief statement that it was looking into whether there had been any “punishable conduct” in the matter. The decision came in response to a complaint filed with the ministry on Friday accusing Trump executives of illegal “encroachment” on the property, the ministry’s statement said.
