RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Nicaraguan presidential hopeful Cristiana Chamorro Barrios denounced on Wednesday that two of her former collaborators are being harassed by “paramilitaries” in the framework of an investigation opened by the Public Prosecutor’s Office against her for alleged money laundering.
“I denounce the harassment by paramilitaries of the dictatorship (Daniel Ortega’s government) of the ex-officials of the FVBCH: Walter Gómez and Marcos Fletes. They will not intimidate anyone,” said Chamorro Barrios, daughter of former president Violeta Barrios de Chamorro (1990-1997), in a Twitter message.

Walter Antonio Gómez Silva and Marco Antonio Fletes Casco, financial administrator and general accountant of the Violeta Barrios de Chamorro Foundation, respectively, together with Chamorro Barrios, are being investigated by the Attorney General’s Office for alleged money laundering.
