Paola Mora, president of the Bank of Costa Rica (BCR), said that the fact that people think she had something to do with the false bomb alert that occurred on Wednesday at the headquarters of the institution is simply ridiculous.
Ottón Solís told the press that the alert occurred just when the Board of Directors of the BCR unanimously decided to fire Mora.
Mora’s destitution was requested by the other members of the Board of the bank after she stated in an interview with the press that she frequently met with businessman Juan Carlos Bolaños, a cement importer who, according to allegations, was benefited from a policy of the bank to expressly finance imports of that product from China.
