It turns out, every bitcoiner’s favorite authoritarian Nayib Bukele had a deal with MS-13 to quell violence and to secure him votes in the areas of El Salvador under their control.
And part of Bukele’s deal with Trump to accept deportations included the high level MS-13 members on trial in the US that may have ratted him out as part of their testimony in court.
But those court cases have been dropped in the US now that those individuals have been returned to El Salvador’s prisons.
🎯. Bukele is just another Latin American tin pot dictator.
Interesting insight... TY
From NYT investigation:
U.S. and Salvadoran officials have said MS-13 leaders are being returned to face justice in El Salvador. But The Times found that American prosecutors have amassed substantial evidence of a corrupt pact between the Salvadoran government and some high-ranking MS-13 leaders, who agreed to drive down violence and bolster Mr. Bukele politically in exchange for cash and perks in jail. Investigators had even begun scrutinizing Mr. Bukele himself.
Some who were part of the federal investigation worry that Mr. Bukele wants the gang leaders back to prevent them from revealing damaging information about his government.
TY also for the source.
