Jaime Bayly recounts reconciliation with brother in Panama

In a personal narrative, Jaime Bayly recounts a recent visit to Panama City to reunite with his brother, Manuel, after more than ten years of estrangement. The reconciliation follows a period of distance caused by Bayly’s previous advice regarding Manuel’s marriage.

Bayly describes Manuel as a wealthy individual living in a highly secured residence, having inherited significant wealth from his godfather, a mining entrepreneur named Bobby. The author reflects on his past warnings to Manuel to enter into a prenuptial agreement for the separation of assets before marrying his wife, Julieta. Despite these warnings, Manuel married without such an agreement, leading to a rift that included Manuel not inviting Bayly to the wedding in Lima.
