=== Post-presidency === [[File:Arnoldo-aleman.jpg|thumb|Arnoldo Alemán currently]] At the end of his term, he was accused by his opponents of having accumulated a fortune close to 250 million dollars in foreign assets and banks. Being the maximum leader of the Liberal Constitutionalist Party (PLC, right), he was accused in December 2002 by the Attorney General's Office of having used public funds to launder money and commit fraud to the detriment of the State. Finally, in 2003 he was sentenced to 20 years in prison for money laundering and corruption, charges that led to his removal from office as a deputy and subsequent arrest. He was imprisoned with a controversial family cohabitation permit, granted by a judge that allowed him free movement through the city of Managua. Alemán also faces other accusations of corruption in Panama and the United States for [[money laundering]]. Reports from the embassy to the United States Department of State say that while Alemán was president, he and his family stole approximately one hundred million dollars from the people of Nicaragua through the looting of the national treasury and the accounts of the different ministries and agencies, controlled by their corrupt associates, "Alemán, his family, and his associates, used various schemes to steal and launder government money, but most of the funds were laundered through shell companies in Panama, the United States, and the Dominican Republic. ". His wife María Fernanda Flores de Alemán, his brother Álvaro Alemán, his late sister Amelia Alemán, his daughter María Dolores Alemán, among others, created some of the companies conceived by the accomplices of the former president. Some of his closest collaborators during his government were also accused of corruption; one of the main ones, Byron Jerez. On January 15, 2009, Arnoldo Alemán was acquitted of corruption charges by the Nicaraguan Supreme Court, which at that time was presided over by Manuel Martínez Sevilla, a close associate of Alemán. Alemán decided to run for the presidential elections on November 6, 2011 for the PLC-PC Alliance, allying himself with the Conservative Party, the former rival of the Liberals. His main opponent was President Ortega, despite the fact that he was prohibited by the Constitution from running for re-election, according to article 147 of the Political Constitution of Nicaragua, rescinded in favor of Ortega.
