SAN SALVADOR, July 22 (Reuters) - El Salvador has ordered the arrest of former President Salvador Sanchez Ceren and nine top officials from a past administration as part of a money laundering and corruption probe, the Attorney General's office said on Thursday.
The office said Sanchez Ceren was out of the country, but six former high-ranking members of President Mauricio Funes's government from 2009 to 2014 have been detained.
Sanchez Ceren was vice president at the time, before becoming president in the following term. His successor, President Nayib Bukele, has drawn rebukes for a string of controversial moves, including removing the attorney general and closing an anti-corruption office.
