Villatoro Family

The Villatoro family is a prominent landowning family in El Salvador, historically associated with the acquisition of extensive tracts of land in the La Unión department, including the area known as El Icacal. They have been implicated in disputes over land ownership as they seek to develop commercial interests, notably through a real estate company called Santa Mónica. Their actions have drawn criticism from local communities, including those who have inhabited the land for decades, leading to accusations of land usurpation amid ongoing tensions over property rights.
