The Spin

Narrative A

Former Pres. Martinelli is a corrupt politician who participated in a grand scheme of ill-intentioned behavior that undermined democracy and sold out his country for profit. He and his sons have no place in leadership after their years of corruption and financial crimes.

Narrative B

Former Pres. Martinelli and his sons have the right to defend themselves and free themselves from unlawful prosecution. There’s no evidence linking the former president or his associates to any illegal transactions. Despite the hardship he and his family have endured, at least they’ve been reunited while they look to win their case and clear their names.
