President Rodrigo Chaves ordered Braulio Venegas-Dijeres to step down as head of the Pacific Ports Institute (Incop) on Monday.
The administration said in a brief press statement that Venegas' resignation was due to his links to a man surnamed Montes-Fonseca.
Montes is being investigated in a drug trafficking case.
"Venegas explained that he met the suspect (Montes) when they were both at the school of law at the University of Costa Rica," the authorities added.
Venegas allegedly
joined Montes at a meeting at the Costa
Rican Railway Institute while he
represented the Costa Rican Union of
Chambers and Associations of the Private
Business Sector (Uccaep). ---------------
