Costa Rica\u2019s Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ) considers that the murder of retired major from the Nicaraguan Army, Roberto Samcam, had an \u201cideological\u201d motive. It also states that the trigger for the crime was the former military officer\u2019s collaboration with a report by the UN Group of Human Rights Experts on Nicaragua (GHREN), which exposed the participation of military forces in the repression of unarmed civilians in 2018. <\/p>\n\n

According to the judicial file, accessed by the Costa Rican outlet Teletica <\/a>and including new testimonies, the crime bore the characteristics of a contract killing and was carried out in a \u201cprofessional\u201d manner, reinforcing the hypothesis that it was a planned action. <\/p>\n\n

In February 2025, GHREN published a report determining, for the first time, that the Nicaraguan Army \u201cactively participated in the repression\u201d of the 2018 protests <\/a>and \u201ccommitted extrajudicial executions,\u201d which left more than 300 people dead.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cMost of this document (the GHREN report) was based on the investigation carried out by Roberto Samcam, so the government\u2019s anger against him was significant and could have led to his killing (\u2026) he was a specific target of the regime,\u201d emphasized the witness included in the case file. <\/p>\n\n

According to the Group of Experts\u2019 report, the Army \u201cprovided weapons to the Police and pro-government armed groups, carried out intelligence operations, and trained civilian personnel, including members of the Sandinista Youth, marginalized youth, and public officials.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

In connection with this case, which occurred on June 19, 2025, at the victim\u2019s home in Moravia, San Jos\u00e9, four people remain in pretrial detention.<\/p>\n\n

Information contained in the case file indicates that one of the detainees is allegedly linked to a criminal group operating in the department of Carazo, Nicaragua, raising the possibility of transnational connections in carrying out the crime.<\/p>\n\n

Another trigger for the crime<\/h2>\n\n

In addition to the UN report, investigators also believe that \u201cthe straw that broke the camel\u2019s back\u201d was the drafting of a document Samcam was working on with other exiled individuals, proposing the formation of a transitional government in Nicaragua.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe idea was for it to be a document people could sign, like when the constitutional reform was done in January 2025. A document with signatures, gradually challenging the Constitution at that moment\u2014but Roberto circulated it,\u201d another witness stated.<\/p>\n\n

He added that the former military officer had circulated another text with strong accusations against military and intelligence institutions, which further raised his profile as an opponent.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIn March or April, he released a very hard-hitting document against a number of individuals he described as killers. He was targeting the military, intelligence institutions, and the Interior Ministry. All of that made him a target for the Nicaraguan government,\u201d the witness said. <\/p>\n\n

UN says the crime was \u201cplanned\u201d<\/h2>\n\n

Samcam had been living in Costa Rica since 2018. In February 2023, he was arbitrarily stripped of his Nicaraguan nationality and later granted Spanish citizenship. In June 2025, he was murdered at his home and, according to investigators, was shot eight times. <\/p>\n\n

In February 2026, GHREN stated that Samcam\u2019s killing was \u201ccarefully planned, following prior surveillance and threats against the victim, and bore the hallmarks of a contract killing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

GHREN also detailed how the regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo used state resources to sustain repression in Nicaragua<\/a> and to expand a network of surveillance and intelligence aimed at targeting Nicaraguans in exile.<\/p>\n\n

Samcam\u2019s case has also been linked to patterns of transnational repression, in which state actors\u2014or those connected to them\u2014extend acts of persecution beyond their borders against opposition figures in exile.<\/p>\n\n

In statements to the outlet Teletica, former OIJ investigator Rogelio Ram\u00edrez said that \u201cwhat is typical of dictatorships is control over citizens\u2014even espionage and conspiracy become strategies and even state policies (\u2026) the survival of dictators and their inner circle depends on that control to prevent and crush any signs of dissent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The case file also includes information about the existence of an alleged list of individuals considered targets of the regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo. The list reportedly includes at least ten names, among them Samcam, reinforcing the hypothesis that the killing was a targeted operation.<\/p>\n\n

Claudia Vargas, the widow of the murdered retired Army major, reacted on social media, stating that the developments confirm that Samcam \u201cwas killed because of his investigations,\u201d and that this means \u201crestoring dignity to his memory.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
