Nicaraguan police established a medical unit at the residence of retired general Humberto Ortega, brother of President Daniel Ortega and a known government critic, a move that exiled opposition media interpreted as house arrest.
The move took place last week after the 77-year-old former army chief gave an interview with Argentine outlet Infobae and said his brother had no political heirs within his family and the Sandinista movement, and predicted that, if he were to die, his close circle would not be able to maintain power in Nicaragua.
