For Sale: Keys to the City

Capellini and Gallo have not only maintained their business relationship; they've intensified it. Last August, Capellini and Gallo partnered up in a real estate venture in Costa Rica, a country where the mayor has traveled extensively. It's not known if the two men have traveled to the Central American country together; the mayor declined to answer questions about his land deals.

When last contacted by New Times on his cell phone, the mayor said he was out of the country. When asked if he was in Costa Rica, he answered in the negative. But he wouldn't say where he was (city sources say it was Brazil).

Instead he maintained his veil of secrecy. Just the way the mayor seems to like it.
