La policía salvadoreña informó que capturó al comisionado presidencial del gobierno del presidente Nayib Bukele, quien será procesado por posibles actos de corrupción.

La Fiscalía General giró la orden de captura contra del comisionado Christian Herson Flores Sandoval por el presunto delito de cohecho impropio en calidad de autor directo, es decir, cuando un funcionario solicita o recibe dádivas por realizar un acto impropio de sus funciones.

“En el nuevo país que estamos construyendo nadie está por encima de la ley. No nos vamos a detener”

Fiscal general Rodolfo Delgado

Según el Ministerio Público, la captura del comisionado “es sólo el inicio de una amplia investigación para deducir responsabilidades y de otros delitos de corrupción”.

Explicó que según consta en la investigación, Flores, valiéndose de su cargo, “exigía dinero a personas y empresas a cambio de beneficios y participación preferencial en los proyectos estratégicos del gobierno”.

El comisionado es el encargado de presentar y aprobar proyectos del gobierno y darles seguimiento. Parte de su tarea es informarle trimestralmente al presidente sobre los progresos de estos planes.

Por su parte el presidente Bukele, que goza de una licencia de seis meses, aseguró en la red social X, antes Twitter, que “no es el primero y tampoco será el último” y agregó que “si Dios lo permite, nuestra guerra contra la corrupción será exitosa como nuestra guerra contra las pandillas”.

En noviembre de 2023, a pocas horas de tomar la licencia de seis meses para dedicarse a la campaña de su reelección, Bukele le pidió al fiscal general Rodolfo Delgado que investigara a todos lo integrantes de su gabinete.

Por su parte, el fiscal general dijo en su cuenta de X que continuará firme en la lucha contra la corrupción. “En el nuevo país que estamos construyendo nadie está por encima de la ley. No nos vamos a detener”, afirmó.
