Costa Rican authorities on Thursday deported four Colombians suspected of trafficking drugs in northern Costa Rica.
The four suspects were arrested on June 6 after setting fire to their speedboat and sinking it. Police accused them of bringing two tons of cocaine into the country and identified the four by their surnames: Torres, Aragon, Salazar and Pretez.
The boat sank in 150 meters of water and it was impossible to prove if the Colombians were trafficking drugs, Francisco Castaing, director of the nation's Migration Police said.
The deportees left Costa Rica aboard a commercial flight bound for Bogota, and would be handed over to Colombian authorities, he added.
Costa Rica's migration directorate would bar the four from setting foot in the country for five years.
