The Unanswered Questions: Allegations of Corruption and Unlawful Travel in Costa Rica

 In a case that raises alarming concerns about corruption, judicial misconduct, and potential abuse of power, questions are mounting regarding the actions of OIJ Investigator Donaldo Bermudez Rodriguez and the circumstances surrounding Yorleni Diaz and her son Juan Calderon Diaz. Allegedly, the two individuals were under investigation in Jaco, Costa Rica, yet they were able to leave the country and travel to New York, USA, under highly questionable circumstances.

This case is not just about two individuals evading justice; it is about the integrity of Costa Rica’s judicial system, the role of law enforcement, and the disturbing possibility that influential individuals can manipulate the system to their advantage.

The Central Allegations

The core of this issue revolves around the following pressing questions:

1. Why did OIJ Investigator Donaldo Bermudez Rodriguez allow Yorleni Diaz and Juan Calderon Diaz to leave Costa Rica while they were allegedly under investigation?
2. If there was an open investigation in Jaco’s OIJ Police Department records, how was it possible for them to travel internationally without being detained?
3. Why did they travel to New York, specifically the hometown of Enzo Vincenzi, who has been vocal about exposing corruption?
4. Who financed their trip and expenses, and was this funding connected to any illicit activities?

These are not just procedural oversights; they represent potentially criminal actions that demand transparency and accountability.

Who is Yorleni Diaz?

According to reports, Yorleni Diaz is a Costa Rican attorney accused of being involved in public corruption. The nature of her alleged crimes remains a key point of investigation, but the accusations suggest that she exploited legal loopholes and engaged in fraudulent activities. Her co-conspirator and son, Juan Calderon Diaz, is also implicated in this controversy.

Their ability to leave Costa Rica despite an open investigation suggests either gross negligence on the part of law enforcement or a deliberate cover-up. The fact that Donaldo Bermudez Rodriguez, an investigator at the Jaco Police Department, is specifically named in these allegations only intensifies suspicions.

The Role of Donaldo Bermudez Rodriguez

Law enforcement officers, especially those within OIJ (Organismo de Investigación Judicial), have a duty to uphold justice and ensure that those under investigation face due process. Instead, in this case, Bermudez Rodriguez is accused of allowing suspects to leave the country. This raises several red flags:

• Was there external pressure or bribery involved?
• Did Bermudez Rodriguez personally benefit from facilitating their departure?
• Was this part of a larger scheme to obstruct justice?

If any of these questions hold merit, Bermudez Rodriguez himself could be implicated in corruption charges.

New York: Coincidence or Conspiracy?

The fact that Yorleni Diaz and Juan Calderon Diaz traveled to New York is highly suspicious. Enzo Vincenzi, the man who has been outspoken about corruption in Costa Rica, is from New York. This raises the question—was this travel purely coincidental, or was there a deeper motive?

If Diaz and her son sought refuge in the United States, were they doing so to escape justice, or was their presence in New York meant to send a message? Did they have connections in the U.S. who helped facilitate their trip? These are questions that authorities, both in Costa Rica and the United States, need to investigate.

Who Financed Their Trip?

Perhaps the most telling question of all: Who paid for their travel?

International travel is not cheap, and when suspects under investigation suddenly manage to fund a trip to the United States, red flags should go up. If there was external financial support, authorities should investigate the source of those funds:

• Was the funding linked to corrupt officials?
• Did criminal networks play a role in their escape?
• Was this part of a larger effort to obstruct justice and silence whistleblowers?

The answers to these questions could reveal the extent of corruption within Costa Rica’s legal and law enforcement system.

The Need for a Full Investigation

This case should not be ignored. The Jaco OIJ Police Department, along with Costa Rica’s Judicial Investigation Organization, must be held accountable for allowing individuals under investigation to leave the country. If Donaldo Bermudez Rodriguez played a role in this, he must be investigated, and if found guilty, prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Furthermore, the United States authorities should be made aware of these individuals’ presence in New York and determine whether they entered the country under false pretenses or with the assistance of criminal networks.

Conclusion: A Call for Justice

The departure of Yorleni Diaz and Juan Calderon Diaz from Costa Rica while under investigation is not just a case of procedural failure; it is a glaring example of corruption that demands global attention. If law enforcement and judicial officials can be bought, if open investigations can be ignored, and if criminals can escape justice so easily, then the rule of law is meaningless.

Costa Rica’s authorities, international watchdogs, and legal professionals must take immediate action to uncover the truth behind this case. The people demand accountability. Justice must prevail.
