José Miguel Villalobos Umaña
José Miguel Villalobos Umaña is a prominent Costa Rican lawyer known for his defense work in high-profile cases. He has gained media attention recently as he represents seven individuals accused of narcotrafficking in the Fénix case, which is described as the largest money laundering investigation in Costa Rica's history. Despite his association with President Rodrigo Chaves, Villalobos emphasizes that his legal representation of the accused is separate from his relationship with the president, advocating for the principle of innocence until proven guilty.
