哥斯达黎加总统罗德里戈·查维斯(Rodrigo Chaves)面临贪污罪指控, Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chaves faces corruption charges, a first for a sitting president in the country.

哥斯达黎加总统罗德里戈·查维斯(Rodrigo Chaves)于8月22日在立法者面前为自己抵御腐败指控辩护, 标志着哥斯达黎加现任总统首次面对此类指控。 Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chaves appeared before lawmakers on August 22 to defend himself against corruption charges, marking the first time a sitting president in Costa Rica has faced such allegations. Chaves否认这些指控,包括迫使生产商将合同部分交给前竞选顾问,并声称指控出于政治动机。 Chaves denies the accusations, which include pressuring a producer to give a contract portion to a former campaign adviser, and claims the charges are politically motivated. 立法者将编写一份报告,供全体国会就是否取消查维斯的豁免权进行表决。 The lawmakers will prepare a report for full Congress to vote on whether to lift Chaves' immunity.
