A transnational criminal recruitment scheme targeting Panamanian nationals for military service alongside Russian forces in the war in Ukraine has led to the provisional detention of three Dominican citizens in Panama, according to official law enforcement updates from the Central American country. The case, which unfolded through an investigation launched by Panama’s Public Prosecutor’s Office, has revealed a coordinated network that used social media platforms to lure vulnerable people with promises of high payments for work that ultimately tied to active conflict.
