'He had me threatened,' said wife of alias Guato, arrested with alleged narco ringleader

Costa Rican authorities have arrested a woman accused of being the sub-leader of a drug trafficking organization in the Limón province. The operation, conducted by the Organized Crime Section, targeted clandestine constructions hidden in the mountains of Valle la Estrella.

During the raid, law enforcement discovered structures equipped with solar panels on their roofs. Inside, they found both men's and women's clothing, suggesting the presence of multiple individuals involved in the operation. The investigation focused on dismantling the criminal network led by an individual known by the alias Guato.

The arrested woman reportedly told prosecutors that she had been threatened by alias Guato, indicating a potential element of coercion or duress in her alleged involvement with the criminal group. This statement adds a layer of complexity to the ongoing investigation into the drug trafficking ring.
