The Dominican Alliance Against Corruption (ADOCCO) has warned that a former President of El Salvador, Francisco Flores, who is accused of corruption, could be in the Dominican Republic on the run from the authorities in his country where there is a warrant for his arrest issued on 6 May.
ADOCCO said that they have information from a reliable source that Francisco Flores first went to Panama and is now in the Dominican Republic in a tourist area where he owns property.
Flores, who was president of El Salvador from 1999 to 2004, is accused of defrauding his country of some US$15 million, specifically gained from the government of Taiwan.
Flores admitted that his Taiwanese former counterpart, Chen Shui-bian, who has been in prison in his country since 2009 for corruption, had provided millions of dollars worth of aid but that the funds had been spent on public works in El Salvador, including post-earthquake reconstruction.
