PANAMA CITY (Reuters) - A Panama judge on Tuesday called two former presidents, as well as a slate of other high-profile figures, to trial over money-laundering related to the Odebrecht bribery probe, a sweeping corruption investigation that has rippled across Latin America.

The country's state attorney's office said in a tweet a judge had summoned 36 people to trial over money-laundering charges, a group which also includes six former ministers, former officials, businessmen and other individuals.
