Courting El Salvador's Puppet Master
Revista Factum has obtained access to emails written by the businessman Jose Aquiles Enrique Rais Lopez. He is the owner of El Salvador's waste management company MIDES, and of a number of planes on which powerful public officials have flown, including El Salvador's prosecutor general and the former Honduran president Porfirio Lobo. The correspondence reveals that Rais tends to brag about his friendship with Jose Luis Merino, one of the most influential directors of the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN), and that money from his companies has been used to buy "politicians and planes," and even a luxury apartment in Switzerland. The payments were made through transfers to bank accounts in El Salvador.
