CPJ said on May 8, 2026 that \"the targeting of individual shareholders' personal assets marks a dangerous escalation in the Bukele administration's long-standing effort to dismantle El Faro through administrative harassment.\" The sources cited give no public reason from the Salvadoran government for the measure.",
