The man was arrested just a day before the gig.
A 22-year old man has reportedly been arrested in the Central American country of Costa Rica after making threats regarding Ariana Grande‘s concert held there.
Grande performed in the capital of San Jose on Sunday as part of her ‘Dangerous Woman Tour’. The concert came less than two months after 22 people and many more were injured following a bombing at the singer’s show in Manchester, England.
It was reported that a 22-year-old Colombian man with the surnames Caicedo Lopez was arrested just a day before the concert in the nearby province for allegedly writing threatening messages on a Facebook page promoting Grande’s gig.
A spokesperson for Costa Rica’s Judicial Investigation Department said: “The original threat was in the Arabic language and indicated that there could be a situation of danger or an attack at the concert. It was a very sensitive situation.”
The concert went ahead as planned, with organisers stating that counter-terror procedures were carried out “with total professionalism”.
