Doctors in Panama said Tuesday that former dictator Manuel Noriega has a benign brain tumor, a possible heart condition and other ailments that raise the risk of him dying in prison.
A team of private doctors hired by Noriega’s family said in a press conference that the penitentiary where the 78-year-old Noriega is being held lacks the medical facilities to treat him in case of an emergency.
Lawyers for the former strongman are seeking to have him serve out his 60-year sentence in a hospital or under house arrest, but the doctors said this decision depends on an evaluation by Panama’s Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences.
