Cristiani, whose whereabouts are unknown, governed El Salvador under the banner of the right-wing Nationalist Republican Alliance (Arena) in the last stage of the civil war (1980-1992) and signed peace agreements with the then guerrilla of the Farabundo Martí Front to the National Liberation (FMLN).
In March 2022, a court of peace in El Salvador ordered the arrest of former President Cristiani for the massacre of six Jesuit priests, five of them Spanish, and two women in 1989 in the context of the civil war (1980-1992).
The Third Justice of the Peace of San Salvador decreed this measure as a result of Cristiani’s absence at the initial hearing of the process, in which the former head of state did not appoint legal representation.
“The only thing left for me is to decree the arrest,” said the judge when announcing the ruling, in which he also ordered that the process against Cristiani go to instruction.
