Keylor Navas threatens to take legal action after finding out members of Costa Rican government are spying on him

In one of the strangest stories of the day, Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas is threatening to take legal action against members of the Costa Rican government after it was revealed they had been spying on him.

Costa Rica’s Judicial Investigation Department announced that 24 of its agents were being placed under investigation for misusing the information platform to find out things about Navas and his sisters.

After being made aware of the news, Navas said: “I feel outraged, my privacy and that of my family have been violated. I have asked my lawyers in Costa Rica to take the necessary legal action.”

Francisco Segura, the department’s director, said that the information was being accessed during July and August, in the aftermath of Navas’ exceptional World Cup. He said: “The agents only have the authority to access the platform when they are carrying out police investigations, making their actions at the very least serious infringements.” He then added that there would be ‘no possible justification’ for accessing Navas’ information.
