Among the nine casualties were the national police chief, other police officers, crew members, a journalist, and a criminal suspect. Aboard the helicopter was Manuel Coto, a former bank director, who had been accused of involvement in the embezzlement of 35 million U.S. dollars from a credit union in El Salvador, local media reported.
