Anita McDonald Rodríguez
Anita McDonald Rodríguez is a Costa Rican lawyer and former board member of the Costa Rican Institute of Fishing and Aquaculture (Incopesca). She was recently detained as part of a major anti-drug operation targeting the Caribbean South cartel, allegedly linked to international cocaine trafficking and capital legitimization. Her connections to known drug traffickers, including family ties and past recommendations of controversial advisors, have raised significant concerns about her involvement in criminal activities. In 2015, she was dismissed from her position at Incopesca due to questionable associations, further complicating her public image.
