Honduran investigation into Angie Peña disappearance

Overview

In Honduras, the Public Prosecutor's Office (Ministerio Público) summoned former Vice Minister of Security Julissa Villanueva to testify on July 27, 2024, regarding the disappearance of Angie Samantha Peña, who went missing in Roatán on January 1, 2022.

Villanueva failed to attend the scheduled hearing. The Special Prosecutor's Office against Organized Crime (FESCCO) indicated it would request that Villanueva present any evidence supporting her public statements. Meanwhile, authorities clarified that the Technical Criminal Investigation Agency (ATIC) was not in charge of the case, noting that a judge's presence at ATIC facilities was related to a habeas-corpus request filed by the victim’s father.
