D.I.E. List Down to 14
The list keeps getting smaller with each passing day. The list we are referring to is the 20 fugitives wanted for sex crimes that the Ministerio de Seguridad Pública set out to put behind bars for and once and for all.

Yesterday, a 46 years old man identified by the last name Navarro, was the latest in being arrested. Navarro, like most of the others on the list, skipped on his court date. All the men on the list were arrested and faced a trial, but, for some reason, were free and made their way back into the community, were some worked as teachers in public schools.

The latest arrest was made in Barrio Cocoi in San José. Navarro is accused of attacking a young Cartago woman.

The 20 men who comprised the list are wanted on various types of sex crimes, from rape to assault, some involving minors.

The list is now down to 14.

It all started several weeks ago following the arrest of 53 year old Victor Vargas, who in 1996 had been convicted and sentenced to 16 years in jail for child abuse but was still at large and working as a teacher at the Liceo Alfaro Ruiz, in Zarcero.

Officials of the Dirección de Investigaciones Especializadas (DIE) vowed to have all twenty behind bars.

Police officials say that they don't want to offer any details and photos of their targets in fear of tipping them off, making their find more difficult.
