<p>Felix Maradiaga was arrested after being called to the attorney general’s Office to provide a statement.</p>
<p>He is being investigated for alleged crimes against the government.</p>
<p>His campaign said in a statement that police stopped him, his driver and his lawyer after they had left the attorney general’s Office.</p>
<p>Later, police announced the arrest of Juan Sebastian Chamorro, another pre-candidate and former director of the opposition coalition Civic Alliance.</p>
<p>He had received a notice to appear for an “interview” on Wednesday at the Attorney General’s Office to give a statement about a case against the non-governmental group Nicaraguan Foundation for Social Development that he led until 2018.</p>
<p>A police statement said he was being investigated for similar alleged crimes as Mr Maradiaga.</p>
<p>Just before his arrest, Mr Maradiaga had told journalists he was interrogated for four hours about his activities as the former director of a non-governmental group focused on economic research, whether he had ties to drug traffickers and if on his trips to the United States he had requested sanctions against Nicaragua.</p>
<p>He said he told them he had requested sanctions “but not to punish the people, but rather government officials who have committed crimes against humanity”.</p>
<p>Last week, authorities detained Cristiana Chamorro, a cousin of Juan Sebastian Chamorro, and Arturo Cruz Sequeira, a former ambassador to the United States who was arrested on Saturday under a controversial “treason” law passed in December.</p>
<p>On Monday, a judge ordered Mr Cruz held for three months while an investigation is carried out.</p>
<p>Cristiana Chamorro remains under house arrest.</p>
<p>Vice President and first lady Rosario Murillo mentioned the investigations on Tuesday and characterised the subjects of the probes as “terrorists” and “criminals”.</p>
<p>“They believe they’ll be forever unpunished, (but) justice arrives, late but it arrives in this Nicaragua that had been prospering and in reconciliation,” she said.</p>
