The Prosecutor’s Office, controlled entirely by the dictatorial couple composed of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, “revealed that the co-defendants, taking advantage of their positions in public entities, They appropriated funds from the national treasury, intended for granting loans to producers, entrepreneurs, and small business owners in the urban and rural sectors, which were aimed at improving the quality and competitiveness of their products.

After the defeat of the government of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo in the Central American Integration System (SICA), where he failed to get the countries to elect his envoy as secretary general Valdrack Jaentschkeco-dictator Rosario Murillo threatened to “dispense with” the regional body, but Could Nicaragua leave SICA?
For analyst and lawyer Eliseo Núñez, unfortunately for Ortega, Nicaragua has no way out of SICA, since it is a dead-end contract and is linked to regional trade, including the transit of international land cargo. Ortega could do so, but it would isolate Nicaragua from the rest of Central America and complicate matters for the country, says the opponent, who was also a deputy for Nicaragua in the Central American Parliament (Parlacen).
«Nicaragua has a huge dependence on industrially produced products such as food and Central American products (…), products that make up the basic basket, so leaving SICA politically would mean being left in a market like Cuba, a market without supplies, totally isolated.»said Núñez, on the program En Contacto, hosted by journalist Álvaro Navarro.
«Ortega is threatening because SICA allows international transport and commercial exchange. If he leaves, then it would be like in Mexico, where trucks arriving with merchandise from Guatemala have to transfer the load to a truck with Mexican license plates and a trailer with Mexican license plates so they can continue to Mexico. That would complicate trade a lot.»

But could Ortega withdraw from SICA, politically, without breaking the rest of the trade and transport agreements? Navarro asked. “That wouldn’t be a threat, and if that happens, the only one who would lose is Ortega, by withdrawing politically and leaving all the agreements alive. That’s why Ortega is actually making a threat, that’s why I tell you, I hope that Central Americans lose their fear, because for Ortega that would be a brutal shot in the foot.”
The regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo sent a bill that is already within the Legislative Branch to control remittances sent to Nicaragua. The initiative is a reform to the Anti-Money Laundering Law (Law 977) and the Law of the Financial Analysis Unit (976), which will be approved in the next few days by the Sandinista steamroller.
The dictatorship, through the reform, will modify 12 articles of the Anti-Money Laundering LawFinancing of Terrorism and Financing of the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Accordingly, the Financial Analysis Unit (UAF) will monitor the agencies that receive remittances entering the country and force them to provide detailed accounts.
«Supervisors are directed to establish standards for obtaining information on originators and beneficiaries of electronic transfers, remittances and virtual asset service providers.»the document states.
