I LOVE CR. Arrived in 91, and moved the family in 95…The drastic changes started with Chinchilla, and moved south in 2011.

A case stemming back to April 29, 2011 is currently being investigated by Oficina de Asuntos lnternos: Nº 031-DRG-14

The corrupt officers who are part of this scandal:
1. Victor Chavez Chavarria (OIJ Santa Cruz Boss)
2. Jose Angel Penaranda (Fiscal)
3. Roger Hernandez Vasquez (Investigator)
4. Rodolfo Vasquez Marchena (Investigator)
5. Margarita Baltodano Pazos (Judge)

….Costa Rica can not successfully fight crime by letting rogue government employees operate organized crime syndicates from within. These people should have been suspended immediately, while the investigation takes place. The blatant falsification of documents, irregularities of procedure and manipulation of evidence is quite obvious. The empirical evidence in this case is absolutely profound, not to mention heinous. Justice should be swift, and the integrity of the Oficina de Asuntos lnternos is at stake. Communities deserve honest leadership.

The OIJ in this area are like the SS in Nazi Germany. This guy Solano is what´s wrong with Costa Rica. I have read a few comments on the Tico Crap news paper that say this area is very corupt and there is a large coverup for OIJ misdeeds.
