Mauricio Arriaza Chicas

[5] On 19 June, Bukele's security ministers announced the beginning of the Territorial Control Plan, a nationwide government anti-gang campaign.[8] On 27 October, the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice declared the events of 9F as unconstitutional, including the presence of the 51 police officers.[14] On 10 November, the FGR filed a petition to remove Arriaza as vice minister of public security and director of the PNC for allegedly failing to complete his duties regarding the two orders he disobeyed.[18] On 4 December, the Legislative Assembly voted to suspend Arriaza from carrying out his duties as director of the PNC pending the outcome of his removal case.While flying back to San Salvador, the Salvadoran Air Force Bell UH-1 Iroquois helicopter carrying Arriaza and Coto crashed near Pasaquina in La Unión Department.[26] Commissioner César Flores Murillo, the director of the National Academy of Public Safety, replaced Arriaza on an interim basis.
