Ricardo Montenegro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ricardo Montenegro is a politician from El Salvador. He was Treasury Minister in the first few months in the cabinet of Armando Calderón Sol, but had to step down on November 29, 1994[1] after a scandal involving his having favoured the company SERTESA in a bid for a Japanese fertilizer donation.[2]

Montenegro subsequently became the CEO of UNIFERSA, a large fertilizer company in El Salvador that was formed in 1999[3] by the merger of three previously existing companies, one of which was SERTESA. In 2001, UNIFERSA was involved in another incident involving the disapparition of another Japanese fertilizer donation.[4]
