A Salvadoran court ordered on Thursday that properties seized from former Defense Minister David Munguía, who is in prison for a truce with gangs, be handed over to the State, as they were obtained illegally with public funds. “The Attorney General’s Office (FGR) has managed to have six properties (residences) and $169,000 linked to David Munguía and his family group handed over to the State,” the prosecutor’s office stated on its account on the social network X. The decision was made by a Specialized Court of Domain Extinction in the capital.
Six residences, valued at $4.3 million and whose ownership was “extinguished” from the former minister, are located in different areas in the departments of San Salvador and La Libertad. Munguía acquired the assets “using State funds” in the period 2009-2019, when he served as head of the Ministries of Defense and later of Justice and Public Security, the prosecutor’s office indicated.
