The government of President Daniel Ortega granted Nicaraguan nationality to Dolores Ivett Sánchez Villalta, one of the daughters of former Salvadoran President Salvador Sánchez Cerén, according to the latest publication in the official newspaper, The Gazette.
According to the Nicaraguan Ministry of the Interior, Sánchez Villalta “will enjoy the rights and prerogatives that the laws grant him and will be subject to the obligations corresponding to Nicaraguan nationals.”
His nationalization is the seventh granted to the family of the former Salvadoran president, who governed El Salvador between 2014 and 2019 and who is also already a Nicaraguan citizen. The former president is required in his country for alleged crimes of illicit enrichment and money laundering.
At the end of 2021, Interpol notified El Salvador that removed from their bases the red broadcast of search and arrest against Sánchez Cerén and four other former officials of Mauricio Funes – another former president of El Salvador nationalized Nicaraguan – required by the judicial authorities.
The notification of the international police explains that, based on article 3 of the Interpol statutes, the notifications were eliminated, because “any activity or intervention in questions or matters of a political, military or political nature is strictly prohibited for the Organization. or religious.”
