She took on more high-profile corruption cases than anyone before her. While she did give in to political pressure every now and then, she, contrary to her predecessors, could not be bribed. She made it a point to act seriously against corruption inside the Public Ministry. She had a spotless track record, and had worked as the legal counsel of the Truth Commission that investigated the crimes of the President's father.
When Ana Matilde Gomez was appointed as Attorney General by Martin Torrijos, many were surprised. He had not counted with the possibility of a leak. But Antinori had overlooked one thing, one thing that would come back to haunt him.
Suspicions, yes, but nothing that anyone could put his finger on. Nobody had noticed what was really going on. Antinori, the strategist, had designed the plan, anticipated every move, prepared responses to whatever Gomez and her supporters, from the media to civil society, could possibly come up with. Headed by lawyer and former ombudsman Italo Antinori, they had met in secret, and meticulously plotted the downfall of their target, the attorney general. And of course the members of PAMAGO, the secretive group of supreme court magistrates, government officials and lawyers that had made it all happen. Guiseppe Bonissi was the new man in charge. Ana Matilde Gomez, the attorney general, had been sacked. Finally they could unwind, relax, relieve some of the tension, now that the mission had been accomplished.
THE party lasted into the wee hours of the next morning, with plenty of wine, whiskey, tequila and rum. Italo Antinori, PAMAGO conspirator and strategist
