One name, however, stands out in the document: Pablo Robles Murillo. But who is this man identified as the \u201cmastermind\u201d behind the hitmen?   <\/p>\n\n<p>Robles Murillo, 55, served in the Sandinista Popular Army in the late 1980s and was part of the \u201cS\u00f3crates Sandino\u201d Irregular Warfare Battalion. A former soldier who knew Robles Murillo at the time recalled that he \u201csurvived a terrible ambush on the Mulukuk\u00fa straight. He was a truck driver, and a relative of his died in that same ambush.\u201d <\/p>\n\n<p>According to confidential information received by the Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ), the ex-soldier received military training in Cuba and Russia in intelligence and attack operations, though the exact dates are unspecified. Robles Murillo is originally Nicaraguan, holds Costa Rican nationality, and is currently in Nicaragua.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Costa Rican press reports indicate that the file\u2014identified as 87-SH\/RCI-2025\u2014documents that Robles Murillo traveled 59 times between Nicaragua and Costa Rica from 2005 to February 2025. <\/p>\n\n<p>Migration records show that the man accused of planning the attack on retired Major Roberto Samcam traveled to Nicaragua on June 10, 2025, nine days before the murder, and returned to Costa Rica on July 23.<\/p>\n\n<p>His last trip to Nicaragua was on August 7, 2025, about a month and a half after Samcam\u2019s murder, which occurred on June 19 at his home in Moravia, San Jos\u00e9, Costa Rica.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-el-esta-en-nicaragua-dice-cunada\">\u201cHe is in Nicaragua,\u201d says sister-in-law<\/h2>\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/crhoy.com\/esta-en-nicaragua-confirma-familiar-de-supuesto-cerebro-del-crimen-de-samcam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CR Hoy,<\/a> Robles Murillo has been in Nicaragua since August which was confirmed by calling him on the phone. \u201cHe is in Nicaragua\u2026 I\u2019ll let him know,\u201d replied a woman identified as Sara, his sister-in-law, who answered the call.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Records from the General Directorate of Migration and Foreigners (DGME) confirm that Robles Murillo has not returned to Costa Rica, at least not through an official border checkpoint.<br\/> <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-un-denunciante-clave-da-nombre-de-pablo-robles-murillo\">Key informant names Pablo Robles Murillo<\/h2>\n\n<p>According to the judicial file, it was an anonymous person who reported Robles Murillo as the mastermind behind the hitmen who killed Samcam.<\/p>\n\n<p>The file states that the informant claimed members of the Military Intelligence and Counterintelligence Directorate (DICIM) and Cuba\u2019s Intelligence Directorate (G2) allegedly planned the assassination while operating in Costa Rica.<\/p>\n\n<p>The document leaked by Costa Rican media indicates that Robles Murillo reportedly maintained direct communication with Danilo Chaves Medina, arrested in Ca\u00f1as on Thursday, September 11, 2025, who was identified as the intermediary between the masterminds and the individuals who carried out the murder.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p>It also indicates that Robles Murillo allegedly had \u201cmeetings with the top command of the Nicaraguan Army about a month ago, possibly coordinating the assassination of retired General Samcam.\u201d <\/p>\n\n<p>The judicial file includes a photo of Robles Murillo with the Army chief, General Julio C\u00e9sar Avil\u00e9s, taken on an unspecified date. According to the file, Robles Murillo and General Avil\u00e9s have maintained a long-standing relationship.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"896\" height=\"404\" src=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/foto-Pablo-Robles-con-jefe-del-Ejercito.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-174995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/foto-Pablo-Robles-con-jefe-del-Ejercito.png 896w, https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/foto-Pablo-Robles-con-jefe-del-Ejercito-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/foto-Pablo-Robles-con-jefe-del-Ejercito-768x346.png 768w, https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/foto-Pablo-Robles-con-jefe-del-Ejercito-480x216.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 896px) 100vw, 896px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The court file contains a photograph of Pablo Robles Murillo with the head of the Nicaraguan Army, General Julio C\u00e9sar Avil\u00e9s, although it does not detail when it was taken. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-la-reunion-para-planificar-el-asesinato\">The meeting to plan the murder<\/h2>\n\n<p>The informant also identified the alleged perpetrators of the crime as individuals from Le\u00f3n XIII, in Tib\u00e1s, providing names, phone numbers, and detailed physical descriptions of the suspected hitmen. In the case of Robles Murillo, the informant provided information about his travels, meetings, and his Facebook account.  <\/p>\n\n<p>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> However, Luis Carvajal Fern\u00e1ndez, 20, reportedly the gunman, remains at large, as does Robles Murillo.  <\/p>\n\n<p>According to confidential testimony, the suspects met on June 18, 2025\u2014one day before Samcam\u2019s murder\u2014at the Delta gas station located at the entrance to Le\u00f3n XIII, in front of the company Metalco, around 6 p.m. <\/p>\n\n<p>During that meeting, they coordinated Samcam\u2019s assassination and brought the vehicles and the weapon they would use \u201cto inspect them, ensure everything worked properly, and fine-tune the planning details,\u201d the file published by La Naci\u00f3n details. <\/p>\n\n<p>According to the case file, the informant stated that they did not want \u201ctheir information to appear in the proceedings, as they consider the information accurate and fear that the people it refers to could kill them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>The judicial file also shows that Pablo Robles Murillo <a href=\"https:\/\/crhoy.com\/cerebro-del-crimen-de-samcam-tiene-un-terreno-en-upala-viajes-a-nicaragua-y-panama-este-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">owns a 282-square-meter plot in Upala, Alajuela<\/a>, registered in the Property Registry on May 20, 2025. The property is located near the border between the two countries.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The report clarifies that Robles Murillo has no criminal record in the Unique Criminal File and does not appear in reports from the Public Force, seizure records, or the Ministry of Justice and Peace, according to CR Hoy. <\/p>\n\n<p>Costa Rican authorities have not confirmed the motive for the crime, nor have they officially charged Robles Murillo in the case, as he only appears in the judicial file. However, Attorney General Carlo D\u00edaz did not rule out the possibility that the crime had a political motivation.  <\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cOne line of investigation points to this being an apparent order from the Nicaraguan Army. We will not be satisfied with merely arresting those who carried out the execution; we will go to the utmost lengths to determine who ordered this homicide,\u201d D\u00edaz said during the arrest 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<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-represion-traspasa-fronteras\">Repression crosses borders<\/h2>\n\n<p>The murder of retired Major Samcam has been reported as <a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/en\/nation\/un-experts-denounce-transnational-surveillance-of-nicaraguans-in-exile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the fourth \u201cviolent attack against an exile in recent years,\u201d<\/a> in a report presented in Geneva by the Human Rights Experts Group on Nicaragua (GHREN), which concludes that the Ortega-Murillo regime\u2019s repression extends beyond national borders.<\/p>\n\n<p>The dictatorship has used \u201ca broad and complex network of surveillance and intelligence\u201d to monitor the activities of Nicaraguans, even \u201cbeyond the country\u2019s borders.\u201d This network has allowed it to \u201charass, discredit, and threaten\u201d Nicaraguans in exile, the report indicates.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The document, presented on September 23, 2025, to the United Nations Human Rights Council, reveals that the <a href=\"https:\/\/confidencial.digital\/nacion\/victimas-de-la-represion-transnacional-orteguista-piden-ayuda-internacional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201ctransnational surveillance\u201d<\/a> is organized through \u201ca multi-layered intelligence architecture\u201d involving the Army, the Police, the foreign service, and non-state agents. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAt its core is a network coordinated by the Army\u2019s Defense Information Directorate, the military intelligence agency,\u201d the report emphasizes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The judicial file investigating the murder of retired Major Roberto Samcam, leaked by Costa Rican media outlets La Naci\u00f3n and CR Hoy, reveals that Costa Rican authorities are probing the possible involvement of Nicaraguan regime military intelligence in the crime.
