MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- The head of the American Chamber of Commerce in Nicaragua used his position to undermine President Daniel Ortega, leaked diplomatic cables show.
Roger Arteaga Cano, who recently stepped down, served in the government under one of Ortega's predecessors. U.S. cables obtained by Wikileaks show he met secretly with U.S. diplomats and used his position to issue statements from the chamber calling Ortega and his officials "gangsters" and "terrorists," The New York Times reports.
