Ruiz Urbina, meanwhile, was appointed head of the DAJ in September 2023. Both are included in <a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/en\/english\/ghren-identifies-54-senior-officials-responsible-for-repression-in-nicaragua\/\">the list of 54 senior officials held responsible for repression in Nicaragu<\/a>a, compiled by the UN Group of Human Rights Experts on Nicaragua (GHREN) and published on April 3, 2025, in Geneva, Switzerland.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The supposed circular, dated May 4, 2025, establishes that to occupy property\u2014land plots, vehicles, or other assets\u2014authorization from both police chiefs is required \u201cwhen dealing with reports of crimes such as fraudulent conveyance, fraud, or illegal occupation of private property.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>The same applies to the execution of arrest warrants for property-related crimes (fraud, fraudulent conveyance, or those tied to property or debt issues). Requests for such authorization must be backed by an operational assessment, input from territorial networks, profiles of the individuals involved, and information about the judges who issued the orders or warrants. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis last clarification is typical of police procedures, meant to reinforce territorial control,\u201d a source familiar with Nicaragua&#8217;s internal control systems told <strong>CONFIDENCIAL<\/strong>. \u201cWhat the text describes is what the police already routinely do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Victoriano-Ruiz-Urbina-junto-a-Diaz-1024x638.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-166785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Victoriano-Ruiz-Urbina-junto-a-Diaz-1024x638.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Victoriano-Ruiz-Urbina-junto-a-Diaz-300x187.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Victoriano-Ruiz-Urbina-junto-a-Diaz-768x478.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Victoriano-Ruiz-Urbina-junto-a-Diaz.jpeg 1150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Commissioner General Victoriano Ruiz Urbina (right), head of the Judicial Assistance Directorate, observes first commissioner General Francisco Diaz Madriz, head of the National Police, on February 26, 2025. \/\/ Photo: CCC <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-impunidad-por-escrito\">Impunity in writing<\/h2>\n\n<p>This police practice poses a risk of further discouraging loans and development projects, given that the Judicial Branch is now subject to the discretion of police chiefs.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cIt increases the risks of impunity,\u201d explained a businessman who spoke to <strong>CONFIDENCIAL<\/strong> on condition of anonymity. The risk for a bank or commercial entity is that anyone who commits fraud, diverts collateral, or decides not to honor a mortgage guarantee can escape justice\u2014if they have the right police contacts. <\/p>\n\n<p>This person \u201cwill be exempted from complying with the sentences of the judges, who will be subordinated to the will of two police chiefs. This will cause the placement of credits to decrease enormously,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n<p>A lawyer who has had to resort to the police authority to carry out evictions or occupations of properties that were pledged to a bank, recalled that \u201cthe police do not obey court orders anyway. And then, when the citizen or his lawyer complained, they told him that they had no order from their commanders to act\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cIn the case of the banks, they have agreements with the police high command so that they can proceed to carry out the arrests, seizures or evictions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n<p>His interpretation of the circular is that \u201cit\u2019s telling bankers they must ask police authorities for permission for officers to accompany a judge in executing a seizure. In practice, this means it\u2019s Ortega who grants or denies permission\u2014and it&#8217;s proof of interference in the system of legal guarantees,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n<p>He emphasized that the document \u201cputs on paper what is already known, what\u2019s been standard practice in Nicaragua for some time. What banker, investor, or international funder is going to lend money to a Nicaraguan bank?\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The head of Nicaragua\u2019s police, First General Commissioner Francisco D\u00edaz Madriz, together with General Commissioner Victoriano Ruiz Urbina, who leads the National Police\u2019s Directorate of Judicial Assistance (DAJ), will now hold the authority to arrest individuals accused of property crimes, according to an unofficial National Police circular.
