"Miss Nicaragua Pageant Director Resigns Amid Controversial Accusations"

Karen Celebertti, the director of the Miss Nicaragua pageant, has announced her retirement following accusations of "conspiracy" and other crimes made by the Nicaraguan police against her, her husband, and son. The accusations came after the coronation of Sheynnis Palacios as Miss Universe, which sparked demonstrations of joy in Nicaragua but drew criticism from the government. Celebertti, who had worked for the organization for 23 years, expressed gratitude for the opportunity and described Nicaragua's victory as an achievement for all Nicaraguans. Immigration authorities prevented Celebertti and her daughter from reentering the country, and her husband and son were subsequently arrested. The police accused the family members of treason, conspiracy, and organized crime, alleging their involvement in the 2018 protests.
