Rodriguez had used the social networks for his public criticism of Chinchilla and other government officials.
The reason for Chinchilla’s suit against the businessman is over a series of publications of an alleged land purchase made by the former president.
The trial is expected to continue through Wednesday, when the trial judges are expected to pass judgement.
