El Salvador Calls for Explanation on Gang Member’s Release

San Salvador, Nov 15 (Prensa Latina) Parliamentarians in El Salvador today demanded an explanation from the authorities for the release of gang member Élmer Canales Rivera, alias Crook, now detained in the United States.

For several days the media has been reporting on the arrest of the subject in Mexico, where he was allegedly being held in a high security facility in the country where he was serving a sentence of several years and awaiting other processes.

Congressman Numan Salgado, of the Gran Alianza Nacional (Gana) party, ally of the ruling bloc, said that it is the Judicial Branch, the judges who must respond and explain about the freedom of the leader of the MS gang who is now in U.S. hands after his arrest in Mexico.

Opponents from the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN), Arena and Vamos parties were more incisive and focused their demands against the government, which has constantly denied any type of negotiation with the gangs.

“The government owes an explanation to the Salvadoran people why one of the most dangerous criminal leaders, who should be in prison, appears in Mexico? But, thanks to journalistic investigations, they show audios, like the one of the director of Tejido Social who confesses that he helped him leave the country,” FMLN congresswoman Anabel Belloso said.
