Article based on an application for the appointment of a Commissioner to collect evidence for a criminal investigation into alleged tax evasion - pursuant to a request for judicial assistance from Costa Rica - that was filed at federal court in the USA on January 30, 2007. Individuals and businesses mentioned in the request for assistance include La Nacion SA, Manuel Francisco Jimenez Echeverria, Javier Leon Longhi, Luis Javier Uribe Chaverri, Carlos Alberto Gonzalez Jimenez, Fernando Vargas Espinoza, all of Costa Rica, Capital Leasing Corporation Inc., a.k.a. Leasing Corporation; Cuscatlan International Bank & Trust Ltd., National Bank of Miami NA, Desarrollos Los Olivos SA, and Corporacion de Noticias de Guatemala.

Application for the appointment of a Commissioner to collect evidence for a criminal investigation in Costa Rica into Maria del Carmen Cruz Lizano for alleged fraud while working for Intrade ABC SA. The application for the appointment of a Commissioner was denied by the U. S. Court because the attached request for assistance from Costa Rica contained no mention of Maria del Carmen Cruz Lizano and appears to be for an unrelated investigation, specifically a tax evasion investigation into La Nacion SA, Manuel Francisco Jimenez Echeverria, Javier Leon Longhi, Luis Javier Uribe, Carlos Alberto Gonzalez, Fernando Vargas Espinoza and Capital Leasing Corporation.
