Retired brigadier general \u00c1lvaro Baltodano Cantarero was arrested by a police unit from the Directorate of Judicial Assistance (DAJ) on the morning of Wednesday, May 14, at his farm in Tuma La Dalia, Matagalpa. He was taken to the \u201cJorge Navarro\u201d penitentiary complex, commonly known as \u201cLa Modelo,\u201d in Tipitapa, near Managua.<\/p>\n\n

Producers in Matagalpa told CONFIDENCIAL<\/strong> that Baltodano was arrested during a raid at his property, \u201cLos Milagros,\u201d located in the El Guapotal area. DAJ officers confiscated his computer, cellphone, and other communication devices.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cGeneral Baltodano was identified in the city of Matagalpa while being transported in DAJ police vehicles headed to the Modelo prison in Managua,\u201d said one producer.<\/p>\n\n

Local sources ruled out any legal accusations against Baltodano. \u201cHe didn\u2019t have any conflicts or disputes over financial matters,\u201d they said, attributing his arrest to \u201corders from above, for political reasons.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

\u00c1lvaro Baltodano: From the Army to the FSLN<\/h2>\n\n

Twenty-four hours after Baltodano\u2019s arrest, there has been no official statement from the National Police, the Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office, or the co-presidency of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo explaining the reasons behind his detention.<\/p>\n\n

\u00c1lvaro Baltodano was a guerrilla commander with the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) and took part in the 1979 uprising in Matagalpa as one of the leaders of the Northern Front. He joined the Sandinista Popular Army in July 1979 and held high-ranking positions during the 1980s conflict between the Contras and the Sandinista army. <\/p>\n\n

He retired from the military in April 2000, and afterward became actively involved with the FSLN, which was then in the opposition. <\/p>\n\n

Together with retired colonel Lenin Cerna\u2014then the FSLN\u2019s organizational secretary\u2014and former Managua mayor Dionisio Marenco (who died in 2020), Baltodano became one of Daniel Ortega\u2019s most trusted political actors. <\/p>\n\n

During the 2001 election campaign, he served as the FSLN\u2019s coordinator for the \u201cConcertaci\u00f3n\u201d alliance with various political groups and was one of Ortega\u2019s main political operators.<\/a> In the 2006 campaign, he represented the FSLN in the United Nicaragua Triumphs Alliance. <\/p>\n\n

After Ortega\u2019s electoral victory in 2006, Baltodano was appointed president of the National Free Trade Zones Commission. From 2009 to 2017, along with presidential economic advisor Bayardo Arce, he served as a key liaison between the Ortega regime and Nicaragua\u2019s top business leaders under the so-called \u201cdialogue and consensus model.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Removed as Presidential Minister<\/h2>\n\n

On October 31, 2022, \u00c1lvaro Baltodano was removed from his role<\/a> as \u201cPresidential Delegate Minister for Investment Promotion and Foreign Trade Facilitation,\u201d a position he had held since January 2017.<\/p>\n\n

Days before his dismissal, the National Assembly\u2014controlled by Ortega-Murillo loyalists\u2014approved the closure of the Investment and Export Promotion Agency (ProNicaragua). Founded in 2002 as a joint public-private agency, ProNicaragua was also led by Baltodano.<\/p>\n\n

ProNicaragua’s financial resources, assets and functions were transferred to the Secretariat of Investment and Export Promotion, created through a law approved on October 27, 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

At ProNicaragua, \u00c1lvaro Baltodano<\/a> worked alongside presidential investment advisor Laureano Facundo Ortega Murillo, son of Ortega and Murillo, who later assumed all the duties of the retired general and became Advisor for Investment, Trade and International Cooperation to the Presidency.<\/p>\n\n

Since his departure from the Government in 2022, \u00c1lvaro Baltodano retired from public political activities in the Frente Sandinista party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
