Asier Isusi offers to cooperate in Costa Rica's Éxodo case

Artistic entrepreneur Asier Isusi Balbao has expressed his willingness to collaborate with the Public Ministry as a witness in the Éxodo investigation. Isusi, who has been mentioned in judicial proceedings regarding the organization and financing of various concerts, clarified that he is not under indictment and is not a fugitive.

Isusi stated that his departure from Costa Rica was for work-related reasons prior to learning about the investigation. He noted that he has already contacted the Prosecutor's Office to make himself available to authorities. He intends to return to the country to address judicial requirements and settle outstanding commercial debts.

According to Isusi, the recruitment of investors for shows produced between 2023 and 2024 was managed by Don Stockwell, an individual among those accused in the Éxodo case for alleged money laundering. Isusi identified the concerts involved as those of Ednita Nazario, Ricardo Montaner, Nitro Circus, and Aventura. He further alleged that a manager surnamed Hernández coordinated operations with Hugo Benavides Barboza and that the bankruptcy of his company, AIB Booking, resulted from alleged mismanagement and diverted funds by Hernández.
