Costa Rican authorities conducted early morning raids in Batán, Matina, and Pacuarito de Siquirres targeting a criminal group connected to an individual known as “Tan,” who is believed to be the successor to a previously notorious criminal nicknamed “Diablo.” The operation, carried out by the OIJ (Investigative Judicial Police), is part of an ongoing homicide investigation. At least one person was detained during the raids. Details surrounding the specific charges and the identity of the detainee have not yet been released. Authorities believe this group was actively involved in multiple homicides within the region. The raids represent a significant effort to dismantle a rising criminal organization and disrupt ongoing violent activity. This operation signals a continued crackdown on organized crime in the Limón province.
