San Salvador, Feb 9 (EFE). – Lawyer Lucrecia Landaverde denounced Friday that the body of Alejandro Muyshondt, former national security adviser to the government of Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele, who died in state custody, showed signs of torture.

“There is a sea of doubt about how this person died. The body has several bruises, several signs that show he was tortured in some way,” the lawyer told journalists.

Patricia Alvarez, Muyshondt’s mother, who was also present, explained that she learned of her son’s death through rumors on social media the day before and had to personally confirm his death with the hospital.

Landaverde denounced the condition in which the family received the body, saying: “You can see the blows, you can see the bruises, the body has holes and it seems that he had a lobotomy.”

Alejandro Muyshondt was arrested on Aug. 9, 2023, after a public confrontation with the official New Ideas party Congressman Erick Garcia, whom he accused of having ties to drug trafficking.

President Nayib Bukele attributed Muyshondt’s arrest to “internal investigations” that revealed that the security advisor was a “double agent” and that he had leaked government information to former President Mauricio Funes (2009-2014).

Muyshondt was accused of disclosure of facts, acts, or secret documents by a public servant and favoring evasion for the benefit of the former president.

Nayib Bukele was re-elected on Sunday for another five years, despite the country’s constitution forbidding immediate re-election. EFE

"Double agent?"

Really?

I don't think the man who refers to himself as the world's "coolest dictator" would ever lie, do you?
