Salvadoran police chief says reporters who covered negotiations with gangs will be prosecuted. The so-called "truce" was agreed in 2012 and allowed to reduce the rates of violence in El Salvador.
Former President Mauricio Funes was sentenced to 14 years in prison for having negotiated the truce. Funes sought refuge in Nicaragua in 2016, where he has the protection of Daniel Ortega, who has granted him Nicaraguan nationality. The digital media El Faro was one of the first to denounce the negotiations, becoming the focus of the government's criticism.
