A Canadian two Italians and a Panamanian are the alleged murder victims of Panama lawyer Zoraida M. Saucedo, in 2017, as she moved like a shark in the waters of Panama’s real estate world: buying and selling properties, mortgaging them, processing loans setting up and flipping corporations.

She  also created joint-stock companies for the administration of restaurants and bars,

One of the properties owned by Furio Ferrari Serra in Panama was an apartment in the Grand Bay Tower building, in the name of World Bridge International (WBI).

The company was registered in 2008, and, the name of Zoraida Saucedo appears in 2012 when the shareholders' meeting is held and she acts as ad hoc president, in the absence of the owner says La Estrella.

In the minutes, the directors and resident agent are listed, with  Zoraida Saucedo (president), Edgar Camarena (secretary) and  Colombian Jorge Mondragón, (treasurer). All with the address in El Doral number 9, Panama.

Saucedo, 40, comes from a Las Tablas family of professionals.

The Prosecutor alleges that, through several corporations in which she had a broad power granted by their owners, the lawyer transferred the assets that belonged to her clients. When the owners died, she was the owner. “In some cases, I sold them without their knowledge,” she said, according to judicial sources.
