MANAGUA, Nicaragua — Two members of the Nicaraguan intelligence system and the wife of one of them have been arrested and accused of spying for the CIA, the Interior Ministry said in a written statement.
The statement, distributed to the press Friday, identified the two as Jose Eduardo Trejos Silva and Reynaldo Aguado Montealegre. It said both men were second lieutenants and worked for the Interior Ministry, which handles internal security and also manages the nation’s intelligence system.
Trejos and his wife, Rosalina, were arrested Feb. 19 and Aguado last Tuesday, and the statement said material linking them to U.S. intelligence operations was discovered in their possession.
The statement gave no details and only added that evidence against them will be made public at a later date.
