'''Anastasio Somoza Debayle''' (December 5, 1925 – September 17, 1980) was the president from [[Nicaragua]] from May 1, 1967 to May 1, 1972 and again from December 1, 1974 to July 17, 1979. He is the son of [[Anastasio Somoza García]] and brother of [[Luis Somoza Debayle]]. Anastasio was also the chief of the National Guard. It was also claimed that Anastasio during the December 1972 Earthquake had pocketed the relief money for rebuilding Managua, which led to the Socialist [[Sandinistas]] to revolt, although this conflicts with his not being president at the time (the earthquake occurred on December 23, while Anastasio had been out of office from May 1, 1972 until December 1, 1974).
