Nicaragua accuses Catholic Church of money laundering FMTNews FMTWorld
MANAGUA: Nicaraguan police said yesterday they are investigating several dioceses of the Catholic Church for money laundering, a day after local media reported that the bank accounts of parishes in the Central American country had been frozen.
Ortega’s government has intensified attacks against the Catholic Church in the wake of 2018 anti-government protests in which some 360 people died after what human rights groups call police repression. The police said the investigation also confirmed “other illicit activities, which are still being investigated as part of a money laundering network that has been discovered in the dioceses in different departments”.
Since the anti-government protests, Ortega has imprisoned and expelled priests and nuns, banned pilgrimages and religious processions and shut nursing homes and soup kitchens that had been run by nuns.
