The Minister of Finance, Alejandro Zelaya, went to the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR), to present 2 notices, one against a natural person who allegedly evaded more than US$4 million and another against a company that allegedly evaded around US$142 thousand.

The notices filed as part of the Anti Evasion Plan, belong to companies with activities related to communication equipment, pharmaceutical products, bakery products, internet services and construction services.

In addition, as part of the Anti-Smuggling Plan, 1 notice was filed for more than US$27 million for the alleged crimes of smuggling of goods and customs revenue fraud.

The director General of Customs (DGA), Samadhy Martínez, said that thanks to the team of the Anti-Smuggling Plan and the inter-institutional support they have been able to detect these operations that were intended to evade the payment of the corresponding taxes.

The head of the Treasury Department said that in Latin America they are very aware of the way in which the country is advancing, especially in terms of digitalization and modernization that seeks the development of the country.

He added that now the country has more support to promote economic development and having a strategic partner such as the Banco de desarrollo de América Latina (CAF), expands the possibilities of operations in El Salvador.
