The National Police of Panama posted a video on social media in which its general director, John Dornheim, can be seen talking with Lacunza, who was inside a car in the driver's seat. Dornheim was accompanied by additional police officers.
In the video, Dornheim can be seen approaching the window of the car, which appears to be located in a rural area. Inside the vehicle, Lacunza can clearly be seen seated. After approaching him, Dornheim asked: "Cardinal, how are you?" The cardinal's answer cannot be heard clearly due to the strong wind.
