1. (C) On May 12, we delivered reftel demarche to Carlos
Cordero of the MFA's Department of Disarmament, Terrorism and
Organized Crime. Cordero informed us that Costa Rica had no
formal mechanisms to freeze assets for 1267 listings. He
added that the MFA's procedure for 1267 notifications was to
pass the names to DIS (Costa Rican intelligence) to
coordinate with Interpol. The MFA also passes the names to
SUGEF and SUGEVAL, Costa Rican independent governmental
oversight agencies for banking and for the stock exchange,
respectively.



2. (C) Cordero told us he would protect the information until
the U.S. made its formal request. We do not anticipate that
the GOCR will co-sponsor the listing.
