Ortega's Children Live And Study In Costa
Rica
Two of Nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega's
children live in Costa Rica, in the home of
the head of the Nicaraguan Consejo Supremo
Electoral (CSE) - Elections Council, Roberto
Rivas Reyes, in Santa Ana.
Maurie and Laureano Ortega Murillo, children
of Daniel Ortega and Nicaragua's first lady,
Rosario Murillo, live in Costa Rica,
studying Film and Television at the
Universidad Véritas, in Zapote.
In the Vista Hermosa condominium home west
of San José also live the children of Rivas
Reyes, Roberto Miguel, Indira and Stephanie
Josephine, who are students at the
Universidad de Ciencias Médicas (Ucimed)
school of medicine in La Sabana.
Roberto Rivas chairs the Nicaraguan
electoral body since 2000 and was questioned
in 2008 for favouring the Sandinista
government of Daniel Ortega in 105 of the
146 mayorship races contested during the
municipal elections last year.
And within hours of the decision of the
Corte Suprema de Justicia de Nicaragua
(Nicaraguan Supreme Court) to allow the
reelection of Ortega, Rivas said he would
abide by the decision.
The Rivas ties goes deep.
Another Rivas, Harold Rivas, brother of
Roberto, was named Nicaragua's Amabassador
to Costa Rica by Ortega shortly after taking
over the presidency in 2007. Ortega also
appointed another Rivas brother to the
directorship of a state company.
Ortega's children are said to be living in
Costa Rica since 2007 and travel back and
forth to Nicaragua on a regular basis.
Immigration records show that Maurice Ortega
has come and gone 151 times, while his
brother, Laureano, 162, travelling with a
diplomatic passport.
