Friends, Family Mourn Renowned Businessman

BUSINESSMAN Kai Fieburg, the vice-president of the first-division soccer Club Brujas, from the western suburb of Escazú, and former director of the Costa Rica Country Club, died from injuries received in a car accident in Escazú on the night of Jan. 10. He was 42.
