In brief: El Salvador

El Salvador: Francisco Rodríguez Arteaga, a former head of the institutional financial unit (UFI), a government agency, under the former president Tony Saca (2004-2009), and Jorge Herrera Castellanos, a former treasurer of the presidency, also under Saca, are reportedly collaborating with authorities in order to receive shorter prison sentences. The announcement follows the guilty plea made by Saca on 7 August in response to charges of embezzlement and money laundering. Rodríguez and Herrera have also said they will collaborate with authorities in relation to the corruption case involving former President Mauricio Funes (Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional, 2009-2014) who stands accused of illicit enrichment to the tune of some US$700,000. Funes is currently living in Nicaragua where he was granted political asylum.
