Former Congressman David Rivera’s friend Ana Alliegro denied bond, remains in jail
A federal magistrate said Ana Alliegro, who faces charges of campaign finance fraud, will remain in jail — at least for now.

Ana Alliegro had just surrendered her passport to the FBI and was told by her attorney she faced jail time for her alleged role in a campaign-finance conspiracy tied to former Congressman David Rivera.
Alliegro didn’t stick around.
Along with “another individual,” a federal prosecutor said Friday, Alliegro fled the United States last fall by hopping on a flight to Texas, boarding a Greyhound Bus to Mexico — where a U.S. passport isn’t needed for entry — and then flying to her Central America hideout.
“The next thing we know, she’s back in Nicaragua,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas J. Mulvihill said Friday in federal court. “Instead of coming to the FBI as she promised, she flees the country.”
It marked the second time Alliegro had fled for Nicaragua, a place she had not been to before and a country that had no formal extradition treaty with the United States regarding the alleged crimes.

Now we know why Ana chose Nicaragua, where Rivera has visited her.
