American Expatriate Costa Rica

The Netherlands is looking for information located on Costa Rican servers

The Judicial Investigation Organization (OIJ) is cooperating with an international raid, requested by the Dutch police, to give information that would be relevant in a money laundering investigation.

The OIJ is still searching for evidence in some offices, located in Centro Colón, that apparently provided data hosting services to the suspects. Dutch police asked the Prosecutor’s Office for international criminal assistance to obtain the evidence, specifically, the information located on servers in Costa Rica.

The OIJ Press Office reported that the company located in Costa Rica has no ties to the men investigated, who are presumed to be Dutch nationals.

The raid was conducted on Tuesday morning, but the prosecution emphasized that the company has no relation to the crime committed in the Netherlands, so it is not subject to investigation, since its commercial function is to sell the storage space, but it has no possibility of knowing the information that each buyer accumulates in the server acquired.

According to the Office of the Prosecutor, the company has provided assistance to technicians in the IT department of the Judicial Investigation Agency to collect information of interest, which, once processed, will be sent to the country that requested it.
