San Salvador, February 1 (RHC-Euronews) -- El Salvador’s former President Francisco Flores died Saturday after suffering a stroke while awaiting trial on corruption charges.
Flores was accused of embezzling 15 million dollars of aid from Taiwan, donated for earthquake victims during his time in office from 1999 to 2004.
His stroke, a week ago, left the 56-year-old in a coma. His wife, Lourdes de Flores, told local media: “He suffered a terrible health crisis, provoked by this unjust political attack.”
