Romanian Continues Free, Again!
January 26th, 2010 | by admin |The Romanian national who was found wandering the streets of an upscale neighbourhood and leading police to a stash of 13 kilograms of cocaine, is having a field day with Costa Rican justice, as on two separate occasions, a judge has let the man free.
The first time, a judge of the Juzgado Penal de Heredia, allowed the man identified only by his last name Yovan, free after police found him naked and disoriented in the streets of Bosque Doña Rosa on the south side of Cariari in Heredia.
On that occasion, the man led police to his home where he had the stash of cocaine. However, a judge found that there wasn’t sufficient evidence to hold the man and set him free.
Two days later, agents of the Orgamismo de Investigación Judicial (OIJ) arrested the man, again, found loading a taxi with what appeared to be packages of drugs. Trained dogs were used by police to confirm the presence the illegal drugs the man was loading in the vehicle.
So, back he goes to the OIJ jail cells, this time for possession of drugs. However, a judge, again, set the man free, only this time on the condition that he sign in to the local court office and not leave the country.
Witnesses told police that the packages the man was loading into the vehicle appeared the same found by police days earlier.
