Personal Sanctions

In August 2021, she was made subject to personal sanctions by the European Union over her role as the Attorney General of Nicaragua in oversight and commission of alleged human rights violations and orchestrating a crackdown campaign on political opposition and civil society through politically motivated and bogus charges against demonstrators, activists, and dissidents.[2] This means any of her assets found in the EU jurisdictions should be frozen, and European companies are forbidden to do business with her; she is also barred from traveling to the EU.[3]
