Costa Rica will investigate whether this woman is related to the case presented in Honduras, where two days ago were arrested at an airport with five Syrian Greeks stolen passports.
It has not been established if the woman's passport is also stolen.
The Immigration Department of Costa Rica confirmed that these five people were in the country from 11 to 17 November.
