Vesco Leaves Costa Rica As Panama Flight Debuts
Fugitive financier Robert Vesco departed Costa Rica amid expected rejection of his citizenship bid. Immigration chief Major Antonio Pereyra reported Vesco boarded an executive jet with Norman LeBlanc bound for Panama, with no clear plans beyond that. Observers speculate Vesco seeks asylum to dodge U.S. extradition as Costa Rica weighs Carazo administration’s stance on his case. Vesco previously fled in 1972 to escape a $2 million stock fraud probe.
