El expresidente (2009-2014) es acusado de peculado, lavado de dinero y activos. Según la fiscalía el político -con asilo político en Nicaragua- creó una estructura sofisticada para sustraer y lavar US$351 millones, en donde colaboraron exfuncionarios y familiares.

Nicaragua has granted political asylum to Funes, who faces corruption accusations at home, officials said Tuesday. The leftist leader, in office from 2009 to 2014, was covered by laws that 'guarantee asylum... to those who are persecuted for fighting for democracy, peace, justice and human rights,' the Nicaraguan government said. Funes, who condemns the allegations against him as politically motivated, is facing an investigation for illegal enrichment during his time in office.
