Mauricio Funes was given a plane by a company in exchange of contract awards during his governance

The Attorney General, Rodolfo Delgado, shared different indications of crimes identified in the governance of former President Mauricio Funes Cartagena. «This is something that characterized his government, from the beginning» — he asserted.

The Public Ministry initiated new investigations about a plane received by the former president, Mauricio Funes.

Funes assigned the construction of a bridge to a Guatemalan company.

«The former president explains that all the assets were acquired by him, but the evidence shows us the opposite. He was totally corrupt» — he assured.

He explained that the plane was delivered to Funes by a Guatemalan company so that the former president’s administration awarded them back in construction projects. In such a case, he reported that there is evidence to show that the fugitive from justice would have received a plane as a gift.

The prosecutor asserted that the institution will continue to work so that former President Funes responds to justice as well as all those former officials who committed acts of corruption.
