Costa Rica Mayor Investigated in Beachfront Hotel Permit Scandal
Original: Costa Rica Mayor Investigated in Guanacaste Beachfront Hotel Permit Scandal Costa Rica prosecutors investigate Santa Cru
Prosecutors in Costa Rica are investigating the mayor of Santa Cruz and eight other people over alleged irregularities in permits for beachfront hotels in the Guanacaste province. The probe concerns how coastal construction authorisations were granted, an issue of local concern given Guanacaste's tourism-driven economy and strict rules on maritime-zone land development.
Why now: A sitting mayor and eight others facing a corruption probe touches on sensitive coastal development in a major tourist region.
