A group of lawyers in Costa Rica is working on an independent investigation that could provide evidence for the defense of former magistrate Celso Gamboa Sánchez in the United States.

Gamboa remains detained in Texas while awaiting trial over alleged drug trafficking. His lawyer in the United States confirmed that the parallel investigation is taking place in Costa Rica and that the defense will examine the evidence it produces.

The investigation is separate from the criminal proceedings facing Gamboa in the United States. Its purpose, according to the account, is to identify facts that could support his defense.
