Chamorro, one of the opposition favourites to face Ortega, is under house arrest accused of "money laundering", of damaging the sovereignty of the country or of "treason," under laws adopted a few months ago by the government.

Managua. El juicio contra la opositora y exaspirante a la presidencia de Nicaragua Cristiana Chamorro se inició este jueves a puertas cerradas en una cárcel de Managua en medio de una “exagerada presencia policial”, informó una organización humanitaria.

Chamorro, hija de la expresidenta Violeta Barrios de Chamorro (1990-1997), es procesada en la Dirección de Auxilio Judicial (DAJ) de la Policía de Managua, conocida como El Chipote, donde desde el 1 de febrero se llevan a cabo juicios contra varios opositores detenidos el año pasado.
