Former
President Rodríguez Once Again With
Preventive Measures
Once again former Costa Rican president,
Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, faces preventive
measures, this time related to the PWS case,
where he is alleged to have received
payments from the British reinsurer.
Rodríguez, at the request of the Fiscalía
(prosecutor), was ordered by a court to
surrender his passport, sign in at the
Fiscalía once a month, have a permanent
residence and not leave the country.
The judge felt that there existed the
possibility of flight while the Fiscalía
continues its investigation into the
allegations in the PWS case.
Rodríguez lawyer, Rafael Gairaud,
immediately filed an appeal against the
preventive measures, saying that his client
has not intention of fleeing the country.
The Fiscalía alleges that Rodríguez received
payment from PWS in the amount of
us$706.135, which the former president
refutes.
PWS provided the state insurer, the
Instituto Nacional de Seguros (INS) with
reinsurance policies, means by which an
insurance company can protect itself with
other insurance companies against the risk
of losses.
Former president Rodríguez is also alleged
to have received payment in the Alcatel-ICE
case. After spending a period in jail and
house arrest as part of the preventive
measures in that case, the former president
had all restrictions removed and the
Fiscalía to present charges or conclude its
investigation.
