CWN Editor's Note: The government of Nicaragua’s President Daniel Ortega has frozen the bank accounts of several Catholic priests, saying that police are investigating them for possible money laundering.
The priests—from at least five different dioceses—were given no explanation why their bank accounts were suddenly inaccessible, and have not been charged with any crime.
