Costa Rica passes law obliging state to fund police legal defense in criminal cases
Semanario UniversidadSRC LO·CR·2 days ago
Costa Rica's Legislative Assembly unanimously approved in second debate a bill creating a policy for patrimonial liability and legal defense for police officers acting in the line of duty. The measure, project 25.311, aims to protect officers from personal financial liability when facing accusations related to their official actions. This is a domestic legislative development with no immediate market or geopolitical implications.
