Taiwanese company UIS Taiwan says it is not responsible for the sale of stolen equipment and pirated computer software to El Salvador. The equipment and software that was designed by the JCE and used in the 2008 Presidential election in the DR, were reportedly stolen by a former Central Electoral Board (JCE) employee and used during the recent presidential elections in El Salvador. According to JCE Administrative Chamber president Roberto Rosario, the former employee is a relative of an unnamed JCE member who holds a high-ranking position. Diario Libre reports that Rene Torres, head of computer services for El Salvador's Supreme Electoral Court says that a company named UIS sold them the programs that were used for their March 2009 elections at the beginning of the year. The original programs and equipment, 800 scanners, were sold by UIS Dominicana, a subsidiary of UIS Taiwan, for RD$59 million.
