Spanish cardinal missing in Panama. José Luis Lacunza, 79, is wanted by Panamanian authorities after having had no news since last Tuesday.

The Chiriquí Regional Prosecutor's Office began an investigation on Wednesday, January 31, 2024, into the alleged disappearance. “We are all waiting, a lot of concern, as we already know, it has been more than two days since the monsignor left the house, apparently he did not take something with him for a trip, an outing, and well, that has caused a lot to concern. The complaint has been filed, this investigation has been underway, but so far we know nothing,” declared the president of the pan-Panamanian Episcopal Conference.
