Costa Rica’s Attorney General, Jorge Chavarría, will not investigate presidenta Laura Chinchilla for her asking THX Energy for the use of their private jet to travel to Peru to attend the wedding of the son of vice-president Luis Liberman. Chinchilla also briefly met with Peru’s president Ollanta Humala before returning to Costa Rica.
The use of the plane, whose owners are alleged to have ties to drug trafficking, resulted in resignation of three government officials and investigation into those representing the company that owns the plane, including former Costa Rican soccer player Rolando Fonseca and the Colombian Grabriel Morales.
CRHoy.com reports that it has received a formal written response from the Attorney General press office.
The Attorney General says, so far, “there is not enough to fill the necessary elements of a crime, in accordance with Articles 28 and 39 of the Constitution”.
However, the Presidenta is not completely clear of everything, there is still the investigation against her for not informing the Legislative Assembly of her “away” trip, as the president is required to do.
What la Presidenta is guilty of is being unprofessional and incompetent in the discharge of her duties as the President, compounded by the fact that the entirety of the members of the Executive Branch of Government, who she is responsible for appointing (Ministers and Advisors), are totally inept in the discharge of their duties. The only legacy of the Chinchilla Administration will be historical height of ineptness that it was able to achieve.
