The same week, the Ortega government opened an investigation into Cristiana Chamorro's work at the Violeta Barrios de Chamorro Foundation, alleging money laundering,[9] which threatened to disqualify her candidacy as people under investigation are barred from running.[8] The day Chamorro was called in for questioning, the police also raided the news offices of her brother Carlos's media channel, Confidencial, confiscating equipment and arresting a cameraman.[8] Chamorro subsequently announced she would join the primary, alongside seven other candidates, for the Citizens for Freedom (CxL) party, the only remaining opposition party legally qualified to field a candidate in the November 2021 election.[10] The Ortega government then announced she was disqualified from running; the Secretary General for the Organization of American States, Luis Almagro, issued a statement saying: "Actions like this remove all political credibility from the government and the organizers of the electoral process."[11] On 2 June the government raided Chamorro's house and detained her 15 minutes before she was scheduled to give a press conference.[12] Almagro criticized the arrest.[11]
