Investigation of Costa Rican Deputy Fernando Obaldía

Overview

The Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica initiated administrative protocols to investigate Deputy Fernando Obaldía of the Pueblo Soberano party following allegations of sexual and workplace harassment. The complaints, which include claims of “predatory sexual harassment” made by staff members, were reported to both the Legislative Assembly and the Attorney General’s Office.

Following the initial filing, the Assembly formed a special investigative commission composed of five legislators, with one representative from each major political faction. The commission has been granted a two-month period, with a possible 15-day extension, to submit a report to the Plenary. Potential sanctions for the deputy include a public ethical reprimand. The proceedings are being conducted under strict confidentiality to protect the parties involved.
