A true avalanche of reactions on social networks has caused the war against corruption led by the President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, which has resulted in the capture of current and former public officials.
Words from President Bukele on November 28, 2023.
The most recent arrest corresponds to the Presidential Commissioner of Strategic Projects, Cristian Flores, accused of committing active bribery, for benefiting companies in exchange for gifts, taking advantage of his position.
While the first action taken was the seizure of assets from the former president of the country by the ARENA party, Alfredo Cristiani, accused of corruption. The Prosecutor’s Office ordered a search of 156 properties for the recovery of more than $10.6 million.
On social networks, a video has gone viral in which the Salvadoran President summoned all his officials to a meeting at the presidential house, surprisingly, he requested on the National Radio and Television Network, the Attorney General, Rodolfo Delgado, to investigate all of them, as a beginning of the war against corruption, which will not allow it to continue in his Government.
This allowed the capture of the now former president of the Development Bank of El Salvador (BANDESAL), Juan Pablo Durán for the crimes of arbitrary acts and improper bribery to the detriment of the public administration.
