Betancourt’s ex is new French envoy to Costa Rica

by Adriaan Alsema November 14, 2008

The ex-husband of former guerrilla-held hostage Ingrid Betancourt is France’s new ambassador to Costa Rica.

Fabrice Delloye campaigned for his ex-wife’s release during the six
years she was held by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or
FARC.

A dual French-Colombian citizen, Betancourt was running for Colombia’s presidency when she was captured. She was freed in July when military agents posing as aid
workers helicoptered 15 hostages to freedom without a shot being fired.

Delloye and Betancourt were married from 1981 to 1990 and have two children.

Delloye presented his credentials to Costa Rica’s government Thursday.

Republic and Canada. (AP)
