Police in Costa Rica on Wednesday arrested two Romanian former officials who took refuge in the Central American country after being sentenced to jail for corruption in their country.

The National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA) took over a land property restoration case from the Direction for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT); one of the defendants is Radu Pricop, son-in-law of former President Traian Basescu.
