Nicaragua: Folksinger killers laundered $1 billion
Published July 31, 2012

MANAGUA, Nicaragua – Nicaraguan prosecutors said Monday that a gang accused in the killing of Argentine folk singer Facundo Cabral laundered more than $1 billion in drug money in Nicaragua in recent years.
One of the main suspects in the drug-trafficking and organized-crime trial is businessman Henry Farinas, who was driving with Cabral in Guatemala in July 2011.
Prosecutors say Farinas was an associate in the gang along with Costa Rican Alejandro Jimenez Gonzalez, who allegedly ordered the attack on Farinas in retaliation for a purported betrayal.
The killers' bullets hit Cabral instead. Jimenez is jailed in Guatemala, and is being tried in absentia.
