Money Launderers Busted in Costa Rica with US$2.1 million

Last night we told you about Guatemalan Mario Francisco Bolaños Sandoval who was busted last week Wednesday in El Salvador with US$319,000 in cash. Bolaños Sandoval had left Belize hours earlier on a Taca flight bound for Panama. Now Salvadorian authorities say that the 34 year old is a money launderer.

Well, now reports in the Salvadoran press say that Bolaños was not working alone, confirmation of what we had first reported. The Salvadoran papers say that two of his companions were caught in Costa Rica with US$2.1 million. According to those reports, Costa Rica was the next stop after Salvador on the way to Panama.

The question now is did they leave Belize with all that money - a total of US2.4 million?
