NICARAGUA — Nicaraguan police recovered the sword of Nicaragua´s revered poet Rubén DarÃo after it was stolen last week from the late poet´s home, which is now a museum.
Police in the colonial city of León, where DarÃo was born, also detained 18-year-old Franco Flores, one of the two young men who allegedly nabbed the sword from the Ruben DarÃo museum last Thursday. The other alleged suspect, Leon resident Isaac Francisco GarcÃa, 19, remains at large, according to police spokeswoman Marianela Bove.
DarÃo (1867-1916), one of the most renowned modern Latin American poets, used the sword in 1908 on a diplomatic mission in Spain.
