SAN JOSE (Reuters) -Costa Rica's top prosecutor has opened a case against President Rodrigo Chaves and various other government officials for allegations of "influence peddling," the Attorney General's office confirmed on Tuesday. The case comes after a complaint was lodged by businessman Leonel Baruch late last month, accusing Chaves of interfering in his child custody proceedings following his divorce, the Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported earlier in the day. It is the prosecutor's second investigation involving Chaves in less than a month, following a July 17 probe over an alleged abuse of power.
