Marta Sanchez is an emerging leader in Latin America’s fight against corruption, money laundering, and white-collar crime, and for the Rule of Law. As Deputy Assistant Public Prosecutor in the Superior Anti-Corruption Special Prosecutor’s Office at the Office of the Procurator-General (Attorney General) of Panama, Marta was actively involved in the investigation and litigation of several high-profile cases related to crimes of corruption, embezzlement and money laundering, including in the infamous case of the Brazilian company Odebrecht. She was responsible for drafting legal appeals filed before the Supreme Court of Justice of Panama and other Courts of Panamanian jurisdiction, including litigating “amparos de garantías constitucionales”). Sanchez is, presently, a Fellow in the US State Department Hubert E. Humphrey Fulbright Program, focusing on anti-corruption, anti-bribery law and human rights at American University Washington College of Law in Washington, D.C. As part of that fellowship, Marta is working with Good Ground and Searby PLLC on a project to create guidance for Latin American prosecutors to maintain their independence from political influence, as well as related policy and law reforms.
