Daniel Delgado at the Pentagon in 2008

Daniel Delgado Diamante is a Panamanian politician, who served as Minister of the Interior and Justice from 31 August 2007 until October 2008,[1] after he was promoted from Chief of Customs.[2]

He was previously a Lieutenant Colonel in the Panama Defense Forces and part of the military dictatorship of Manuel Noriega,[3] but was decommissioned when the PDF was dissolved following the United States invasion in 1989.[4]

In July 2008, Delgado announced the government would deny a U.S. military base in Panama, citing the nations' prior history.[5]

He was accused in October 2008 of killing Corporal Andrés García on February 8, 1970, for refusing to follow an order given by Delgado.[6]
