Irving Malespín Muñoz

Irving Malespín Muñoz, the former director of the Police of Fiscal Control in Costa Rica, made headlines after being detained by the Penitentiary Police while attempting to enter the San Sebastián prison with an unreported electronic device, specifically a smart watch. His previous tenure ended in controversy when he was dismissed in 2020 following an investigation into alleged misconduct linked to his personal attorney. Despite being acquitted of charges related to falsifying documents, Malespín's current legal troubles have drawn renewed attention to his past and his role in public service.
