Costa Rica rejects complaints over news stories

Panama complaints against a Costa Rican news source that carried stories of alleged drug smuggling by a relative of President Ricardo Martinelli, have been rejected.

The stories appeared in Mi Pais in June last year, and said the Panama government, threatened diplomatic relations between the neighboring countries.

Bur Costa Rica's Attorney General has rejected the complaint sent by former Attoreny General Guiseppe Bonissi stating that the paper was found to have broken no law.
