Luis Antonio Flores, a former shareholder of the Presidential Asylum in Nicaragua, may have pretended to have borrowed 95 95,000 from Mancia, but according to the prosecutor’s office, there is no record that this person carried out banking operations or provided that money.

According to the prosecutor’s office, Kanaz and Funes sought to “give a legal look” to the funds used by their son Diego, thus “avoiding the consequences at the civil level and, above all, a criminal investigation.”

During the presidency of Funes, Diego Roberto Funes bought eight vehicles and a motorcycle for a total of 4 154 thousand. The vehicles the young man traded included a Hummer truck, a BMW and a Lexus. Probability investigations suggest that the latter bought it for $ 60,000.

Financial sources pointed out that the origin of this money to buy cars was illegal. The defendant, who now has a national and international arrest warrant, “had no legal evidence of reported income at the time of the purchase.”
