Looking for evidence of alleged influence peddling, the Fiscalia (Attorney General office) confiscated on Wednesday the computer of the Ministro de la Presidencia, Carlos Ricardo Benavides’ secretary, from the offices of Casa Presidencial (Government House).

Fiscal General, (Attorney General) Jorge Chavarria explained that the computer will be analyzed because there is not printed copy of the correspondence between the two politicians.
