The Attorney General’s Office (FGR) announced an operation carried out in conjunction with the National Civil Police (PNC) to dismantle a network of individuals accused of forging legal documents, through which they allegedly dispossessed several victims of their properties, subsequently proceeding with the sale and pocketing the funds.
In the operation, carried out in the early hours of Wednesday, October 16, the FGR arrested six suspects, including lawyers and notaries, accusing them of illegally dispossessing properties amounting to a total of $400,000.
The arrestees have been identified as Evelyn Xiomara Muñoz Flores, Ángela Nohemy Bardi, Janet Celina Cruz de Ramos, Daysi Yaneth Medina Alfaro, Hugo Noel Garcia Escobar, and Marco Antonio García Jiménez.
According to FGR’s investigations, between 2018 and 2023, these individuals used counterfeit documents to strip individuals of their property rights.
«One of the arrestees, Janet Celina Cruz de Ramos, took advantage of her notary status, granting a bogus public deed gifting another person an unsuspecting victim’s property, valued at $151,000,» the FGR announced.
Another case attributes to Evelyn Xiomara Muñoz Flores for allegedly dispossessing her life partner of a property. It is alleged that Muñoz took advantage of the victim being out of the country and purportedly drew up a fake power of attorney permitting the delegation of property sale whose resultant funds, amounting to $25,000, ended up in her possession, state the authorities.
The FGR reported that the group faces criminal prosecution for offenses such as material falsification, ideological falsehood, aggravated documentary falsification, and possession and use of fraudulent documents.
Searches were conducted during the operation in the districts of San Salvador, Soyapango, Apopa, and Santa Tecla.
