What Happened
La Prensa published a correction on 19 March 2026 clarifying an earlier story about the destination of funds from construction firm Odebrecht. The original article, headlined “El Tribunal Superior se equivocó: la Corte declara que no hubo error cuando la juez llamó a juicio a Ronny Mizrachi,” included a passage saying that Caribbean Holding Services Ltd. had received money from Odebrecht and subsequently redirected it to several named individuals and companies.
The correction states that the accurate information is that Caribbean Holding Services Ltd. redirected Odebrecht funds to Martinelli Berrocal, Juan Carlos Varela and Importadora Ricamar. La Prensa issued the fe de errata to replace the previously published list of recipients.
Background
The erratum amends a judicial-coverage report published on 19 March 2026. The original passage listed multiple persons and firms as recipients of redirected funds; the newspaper says this was incorrect and provides the corrected recipients. La Prensa posted the correction to ensure the record reflects the accurate names associated with the redirected payments.
What This Means
The correction is a formal acknowledgment by the outlet that a factual inaccuracy appeared in its earlier reporting. Corrections of this kind are important in coverage of high-profile judicial and political matters because they clarify who is identified in public reporting and help prevent the spread of misinformation. The erratum does not itself make legal findings; it updates the newspaper’s account of which persons and entities were named as recipients of redirected funds in that piece.
Readers and researchers relying on the original La Prensa article should use the corrected version for reference. La Prensa’s notice specifies the corrected recipients but does not add further details about any investigations, judgments or legal conclusions beyond the scope of the correction.
