The Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ) and the Prosecutor\u2019s Office <a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/en\/nation\/four-arrested-in-the-murder-of-roberto-samcam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">arrested four suspects in the crime on September 12, 2025<\/a>, while one of the alleged hitmen remains at large. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-un-sospechoso-vinculado-al-ejercito\">A suspect linked to the Army<\/h2>\n\n<p>The anonymous source mentioned in the file provided a Facebook profile of a person believed to be one of the masterminds behind the assassination. According to the informant, this individual received training in intelligence, assassination, and sabotage in Cuba and Russia. He is also linked to \u201cS\u00f3crates Sandino,\u201d a Nicaraguan military unit from the 1980s, and to General Julio C\u00e9sar Avil\u00e9s, the current head of the Nicaraguan Army.   <\/p>\n\n<p>The judicial file mentions that this suspect \u201cwas in Nicaragua not long ago\u201d and that \u201cabout a month ago\u201d he was in meetings with the top leadership of the Nicaraguan Army. These movements suggest possible coordination of the crime. <\/p>\n\n<p>Roberto Samcam, 67, was<a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/politica\/samcam-se-uso-armamento-de-uso-exclusivo-del-ejercito\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> a vocal critic of the Nicaraguan Army<\/a> for its involvement in the repression and killing of unarmed citizens during the 2018 protests. He died after being shot twice in a leg, twice in the abdomen, and additional shots in the chest and armpits. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-una-foto-de-rosario-murillo-en-un-telefono\">A photo of Rosario Murillo on a telephone<\/h2>\n\n<p>The Costa Rican outlet CR Hoy reported that the judicial file indicates that one of the suspects arrested on September 12, named Luis Orozco Gonz\u00e1lez, <a href=\"https:\/\/crhoy.com\/oij-hallo-foto-de-rosario-murillo-en-el-celular-de-uno-de-los-sospechosos-de-matar-a-samcam\/?fbclid=IwZnRzaAM-bP5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHg7_wJButzaibXBQMyBgNNvKq8_CT9IA8fsJ52PuR0A3NDq2trK3UVzzf5ZN_aem_QRAW8aB8hdK4C94I9qfLmQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">was found with a photograph of the \u201cco-president,\u201d Rosario Murillo.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis photograph draws attention within the files located, as it is the only photo of politicians found on the mobile device and given the victimology of the deceased, who was a well-known opponent of the Nicaraguan regime,\u201d the file cited by CR Hoy states.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Costa Rican media outlet details that agents from the Homicide Section of the Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ) <a href=\"https:\/\/crhoy.com\/temor-a-banda-de-shaggy-obstaculizo-investigacion-de-asesinato-de-samcam\/?fbclid=IwZnRzaAM-izdleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHuJEzzt7I6nstOurqbgqFpkE4a_PMjfonXrgI0GCwLbDXq6lCGAxZNAnRq9X_aem_Ex6DV7y-G6AhW2X25_FfsQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cfaced several obstacles while gathering information about Samcam\u2019s murder,\u201d <\/a>including neighbors in Tib\u00e1s refusing to hand over security camera footage from their homes out of fear of a gang that controls the area. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe investigators went through several areas in the north of the capital to collect audiovisual evidence. The biggest challenge they faced was in the Le\u00f3n XIII housing complex in Tib\u00e1s,\u201d the report mentions.<\/p>\n\n<p>According to the document accessed by CR Hoy, the most troubled area of that neighborhood is<strong> <\/strong>controlled by a drug dealer known as Shaggy, which is why residents are afraid to hand over footage from their security cameras. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-crimen-habria-sido-ordenado-desde-nicaragua\">Crime Allegedly Ordered from Nicaragua<\/h2>\n\n<p>Costa Rican authorities have not confirmed the motive for the crime. However, Attorney General Carlo D\u00edaz did not rule out a political motive. <\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;One of the lines of investigation points to the fact that this was apparently an order from the Nicaraguan Army. We are not going to be satisfied with arresting those who carried out the execution; we are going to go to the ultimate consequences trying to determine who ordered this homicide,&#8221; said Diaz during the capture of the four suspects. <\/p>\n\n<p>The Costa Rican official emphasized that the investigation remains open to fully identify the intellectual authors of the crime.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ) has requested cooperation to identify and arrest the shooter:<a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/en\/nation\/the-killing-of-roberto-samcam-in-costa-rica\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> a young man around 20 years old, surnamed Carvajal.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>The hitman entered the condominium where Samcam lived on June 19, 2025, proceeded to a building, and went up to the second floor to reach Samcam\u2019s apartment. Once he had the victim in his sights, he shot him repeatedly, Costa Rican authorities reported.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-los-sospechosos-capturados\">The Arrested Suspects <\/h2>\n\n<p>Three of the four suspects detained for Samcam\u2019s murder were placed in six months of preventive detention by a criminal court.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Danilo Chaves Medina, 35, arrested in Ca\u00f1as on Thursday, September 11, 2025.
