| Description | Former Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli has been arrested in Florida, the US Marshals Service says.
It says Mr Martinelli, aged 65, was taken into federal custody near his home in Coral Gables.
Last year, Panama made an extradition request for Mr Martinelli, who is accused of corruption and spying on political opponents.
Mr Martinelli, who governed the Central American nation from 2009-14, says the allegations are politically motivated.
He is expected to appear before a federal judge in Florida on Tuesday, the US Marshal Service says. |
