Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, the authoritarian marriage ruling over Nicaragua, used a company as a front to acquire state-owned electricity distribution companies Disnorte and Dissur, an investigation by Confidencial alleges.
The acquisition, valued at $140 million, involved a complex transaction that has raised questions about the involvement of ALBA de Nicaragua SA (Albanisa), a conglomerate under the control of the ruling family.
