According to a Case Study by Professor Guillermo Jorge, citing official figures of the Office of the Special State Attorney for the Montesinos/Fujimori Case, as of 2007, accounts valued at $47 million remain frozen in Switzerland, Mexico, Luxembourg and Panama. Professor Jorge wrote that bankers in Panama reported transactions related to Mr. Montesinos while he was a fugitive, and that the Financial Intelligence Unit of Panama initiated a case for suspected money laundering upon receiving several reports from its financial institutions. Most of the acocunts in Panama, however, had been closed by the time the reports were made. Professor Jorge's source for this information was his August 5, 2007 interview with Ms. Maribel Cornejo Batista, then-anticorruption prosecutor in Panama City.
