\"Panamanian<\/a><\/p>\n

Just outside downtown Miami, in a luxury condo building made famous by the 1980s hits \u201cScarface\u201d and \u201cMiami Vice,\u201d a billionaire ex-president is holed up in exile.<\/p>\n

Ricardo Martinelli<\/a> \u2014 scion of Panamanian landholders and an ex-Citigroup banker \u2014 was Latin America\u2019s most popular president a few years ago, a leader who was just as likely to make headlines for helping his country win an investment-grade rating as he was for his lavish personal spending and extravagant parties. Yet as Panama\u2019s Supreme Court was opening probes<\/a> earlier this year into his role in alleged phone-tapping and corruption scandals that drained millions from government coffers, Martinelli skipped town. A separate investigation is now underway in crisis-torn Brazil, home to a company that won concessions for mega-projects in Panama during Martinelli\u2019s 2009-2014 tenure, and one was also carried out in Italy.<\/p>\n

A silver-haired, portly 63-year-old, Martinelli spends much of his time in Miami\u2019s waterfront Brickell neighborhood defending his public record, maintaining his innocence and hinting at a possible political comeback. He\u2019s on Twitter constantly<\/a>, tweeting opinions and announcements to his legion of 557,000 followers.<\/p>\n

When he sat down for a recent interview at a Miami cafe, he was in a combative mood, lashing out at political enemies and rattling off his administration\u2019s accomplishments \u2014 surging growth, falling unemployment and construction of Central America\u2019s first subway<\/a>. \u201cWe put Panama on the map,\u201d he boasted. And then he laid out what essentially form the two central points of his response to the probes: Ricardo Martinelli has been a very rich man for a very long time; and rivals are using the investigations to weaken him.<\/p>\n

Now it may seem strange for a politician caught in the middle of a corruption probe to be drawing attention to his wealth, but there\u2019s a certain logic to the argument. Why would an already rich man steal from his country, he asks. The ex-president has a net worth of $1.1 billion, according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index<\/a>. Top among his assets is the majority stake in grocery-store chain Super 99, with over $700 million in annual revenue. He also claims interests in banking, real estate, cement, media, energy and sugar, and owns a plane, two helicopters and a yacht.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone knows I have owned Super 99 for 30 years,\u201d he said. \u201cAll my cases are political. There\u2019s no evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Much of Martinelli\u2019s ire is directed at his successor, Juan Carlos Varela.<\/p>\n

Their ties stretch back decades. As young men, they ran in the same elite social circles and later became business associates in the rum industry. Both would enter politics after the U.S. toppled strongman Manuel Noriega in 1989. When Martinelli swept into office two decades later on a pro-business platform, he named Varela his vice president. Their relationship soured during those years, though, and by the time the 2014 elections rolled around, Varela was running against \u2014 and defeating \u2014 the Martinelli-backed candidate. Once in power, Varela undertook a push to root out corruption, part of a wave of investigations sweeping across Latin America as a faltering economic boom spurred demands for greater accountability.<\/p>\n

Martinelli calls it a political vendetta, the price he\u2019s paying for raising taxes on the rich \u2014 a \u201ccardinal sin\u201d in Panamanian politics, he says. Varela\u2019s administration dismisses those comments.<\/p>\n

\u201cAsk the more than 150 politicians, civil society leaders, business leaders and journalists whose intimacy was violated by illegal telephone interventions if it is political persecution,\u201d \u00c1lvaro Alem\u00e1n, the president\u2019s chief of staff, said in a written response to questions.<\/p>\n

The phone-tapping case is one of two investigations that the Supreme Court has opened on Martinelli. The other centers on alleged corruption at his food-aid program.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In Italy, Martinelli was cited as a participant in a corruption scheme involving Panamanian contracts when a judge sentenced a man for attempting to blackmail former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. And in Brazil, where the country\u2019s massive kickback scandal is spreading overseas, prosecutors are lobbying Panamanian officials to turn over information that may help their investigation. A company at the heart of the scandal in Brazil, Odebrecht SA, also oversaw Martinelli\u2019s subway project. The ex-president hasn\u2019t been formally accused of any crimes in Italy and hasn\u2019t been cited in the Brazilian probe. Odebrecht denies any wrongdoing in Panama.<\/p>\n

\u201cMartinelli left us a legacy of corruption, overspending and improvisation,\u201d said Ram\u00f3n Arias, head of Transparency International<\/a>\u2018s Panama arm. The economic boom during Martinelli\u2019s term \u2014 annual growth averaged 9 percent \u2014 was largely due to an expansion of the Panama Canal begun by his predecessor, he said. \u201cThe rest was mostly government spending. His model was plain old populism.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back in Miami, Martinelli is undaunted, mapping out his return one day to Panama and flirting with the idea of another presidential bid. While trying to keep a low profile, he\u2019s still flashing some of those rich-and-famous spending habits that drew so much attention in Panama. He took up residence in Brickell\u2019s iconic glass-facade building, a landmark in the area after appearing in the opening credits of the TV series \u201cMiami Vice\u201d and in a scene in the gangster movie \u201cScarface.\u201d And a few months ago, a local Lexus dealer tweeted out a note congratulating him on a luxury-car purchase.<\/p>\n

Martinelli\u2019s more focused on his own tweeting campaign, though. His ability to connect directly to Panamanians, he said, has his political rivals on edge.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are so afraid of my tweets,\u201d he said. \u201cLook what happened in the Arab spring.\u201d<\/p>\n
