Prosecutor questions government's criticism over suspect transfer

Costa Rican Prosecutor General Carlo Díaz has publicly challenged the government's criticism concerning the transfer of a high-profile suspect, identified as 'Diablo,' to judicial authorities. Díaz defended the operation, asserting that all standard protocols were meticulously followed throughout the process.

Díaz directly addressed the government's objections, posing a pointed question: "Why do they jump when the ground is even?" He suggested that the government's strong reaction might stem from an underlying fear, specifically hinting at the possibility that 'Diablo' could have provided information to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

The prosecutor's remarks cast doubt on the government's motives for criticizing the transfer. By defending the procedure as routine and questioning the timing of the government's response, Díaz implied a potential political or strategic concern behind the administration's objections, rather than a genuine procedural issue.
