00:00 Nicaragua's Miss Universe franchise director retires from her role after she was charged
00:06 alongside her husband and son with conspiracy against the government.
00:10 Last month, Cheyenne Palacios was crowned Miss Universe 2023, the first Nicaraguan to
00:15 win the crown.
00:16 Palacios' coronation is seen as a jab against the administration of Daniel Ortega, with
00:21 photos of the beauty queen participating in anti-government marches in 2018 going viral.
00:27 Her blue and white pageant gown echoes the country's opposition flag.
00:31 Karen Celeberti was banned from entering Nicaragua as authorities allege she played a role in
00:36 organizing the anti-government protests.
00:39 Celeberti does not explain the reasons for her retirement but defends her family and
00:43 Palacios' victory.
00:45 Palacios has not returned to Nicaragua since her win.
