The Attorney General's Office of the Republic of El Salvador reopened the Ellacuria Case on Monday, after accusing former President Alfredo Cristiani (1989-1994) of the massacre. The Prosecutor's Office has filed charges against eight people for the crimes of homicide, acts of terrorism, conspiracy to commit terrorism, procedural fraud and concealment.
The investigation in the case has determined that former President Cristiani and Father Ignacio Ellacuría, rector of the José Simeón Cañas Central American University (UCA) at the time, held several phone calls.
