A Costa Rican police officer is facing a year of pre-trial detention due to suspected connections with a criminal organization known as “Diablo’s” gang. The officer, a member of the Fuerza Pública, is under investigation for alleged collaboration with the group. A judge ordered the preventative imprisonment as the investigation proceeds. Authorities have not yet released details regarding the specific nature of the officer’s alleged involvement with the gang. This case raises concerns about potential corruption within the police force and its possible compromise by organized crime. The investigation continues as officials gather further evidence to determine the extent of the officer’s alleged criminal activity. This preventative measure aims to ensure the officer does not obstruct the ongoing inquiry.
