El Salvador’s national police have found over 5.2 Million dollars in cash buried on a farm 56 kilometers (35 miles) from the capital of San Salvador. The sum may grow, as there are still 25 % of the 300 packets to be counted.

The Security and Justice Minister Manuel Melgar believes that the money is linked to drug trafficking.

“This would be the biggest blow to organized crime in the history of this country” if the money turns out to be the proceeds of illicit activity, the minister told Channel 12 television.
