"Divergentes [a digital news outlet covering Nicaragua] is documenting a new phase in the Sandinista regime’s confiscation policy: it is no longer only distributing the properties of exiled opposition figures among state institutions, but is now also selling, renting and distributing them to private individuals loyal to the government.
Documented cases show how homes seized from journalists, professionals and exiles ended up in the hands of public figures such as boxer Román “Chocolatito” González; were listed for sale on online platforms using the same photos their original owners had posted; or were turned into restaurants, hotels and even the set of a reality show. Faced with this new wave of dispossession, a group of confiscated property owners has organized to warn that they will pursue legal action against anyone who purchases assets seized by the co-presidential dictatorship."
