Appellate court
Greek investor Peter Tsokos has purchased and sold a number of Nicaraguan islands claimed as communal lands in the South Caribbean Coast Autonomous Region as part of a tourism project. He was permanently cleared of wrongdoing within the Nicaraguan judiciary. Tsokos was falsely accused of ordering the murder of an indigenous rights lawyer's husband in Bluefields, and found innocent by the Civil court in 2002, by the Appellate court in 2004 and finally by the Supreme court of Nicaragua in 2006.
