|
 By A.M. Costa Rica staff The mayor of Paraíso* in Cartago, Marvin Solano, was called to testify on Tuesday, before the deputies of the Commission of Cartago in the Legislative Assembly. The deputies had questions about alleged irregularities in urban development permits and illegal municipal charges on public water services. The session of the Commission of Cartago was published through the online channel of the Legislative Assembly where the deputies could hear mayor Solano’s version of the accusations against him, which also are being investigated by the Public Ministry. Mayor Solano, however, did not answer any of the questions because, since the process was in the investigation stage, he "made the decision, based on Article 295 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which obliges me to keep secrecy about its proceedings," said Solano Solano is investigated for apparently approving several urban projects without complying with the requirements of the law, said investigators. In addition, there is a complaint of irregular charges in the potable water service on 55 occasions. The Prosecutor's office confirmed they are investigating the complaints against mayor Solano. |
