German Arriaza

German Arriaza is a prosecutor in El Salvador known for his involvement in high-profile investigations into corruption and criminal activities linked to the government of President Nayib Bukele. He has been vocal about the political interference in the judicial system and the dismissal of his colleague, Raúl Melara, which he attributed to efforts by the Bukele administration to shield itself from corruption allegations and investigations into gang negotiations. Arriaza's work highlights the struggle for judicial independence and accountability in a context of increasing authoritarianism.
