Costa Rica is a kleptocracy, from top to bottom, through and through. The only way to have a million dollars here is to come with ten million.

Point well taken, but as you may our not be aware, under what some would call draconian libel laws that apply to news outlets here in CR, we have to be very careful with the way we word certain things until there is a legal conviction, duly recorded by the courts, even if a person for all intents and purposes admits or has admitted guilt.

“The trial came as the result of Milanes failing to comply with a settlement agreement reached in May 2011 with his alleged victims.”

Alleged victims?
