MillionairesWillPanama164034–1024×693.jpg
This photo provided by the Richard Lehman law firm shows property that Wilson Charles Lucom case owned in Panama. The land near the ocean is part of the Hacienda property. When Lucom died in 2006, he left the bulk of his fortune to a new foundation dedicated to feeding Panama’s poor children. Not to his politically-connected Panamanian widow, nor to her children. It was one of the largest charitable contributions in Panama’s history. But in the five years since Lucom died, his will has become the subject of a bitter international court battle that has spawned allegations of murder, extortion, slander, bribery of judges, fraud and outright thievery.
