GRAPEVINE, Page 17Sorry, Sandinistas, Your Lease Is Up
By DAVID ELLIS/Reported by Sidney Urquhart
Duilio Baltodano, Nicaragua's Attorney General, faces the
daunting task of trying to return to the original owners
millions of dollars' worth of property confiscated by the
Sandinistas. Baltodano has logged more than 6,000 restitution
claims, but one particular petition has caught his attention:
a large house occupied since 1979 by former Sandinista President
Daniel Ortega. The motion to evict Ortega will probably be
decided in June, and Baltodano seems confident of success.
There's just one catch. If the former President refuses to move,
the task of evicting him ultimately falls to the army. And
Ortega's brother Humberto still runs it.
