Judicial officials claim that arrests of 17 suspects in 13 raids around the country put an end to a group of organized criminals that stole a total of ¢ 2 billion ($4.04 million) in phone cable from the Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE). Prosecutors said the material was exported into the international market, and resulted in the loss of 200 miles of cable in 2011.
Michael Copeland founded Rock Costa Rica after falling in love with the Lake Arenal area and moving there from Northern California’s Bay Area. He developed a deep affection and respect for the Tico people and for the Costa Rican philosophy of pura vida (“the pure life”) – a philosophy characterized by strong community spirit, perseverance, resilience in overcoming difficulties, enjoying life slowly and celebrating good fortune.
