Various legal incidents and allegations of misconduct have been reported across several countries. 

In Spain, Juan Andrés González remains in preventive prison facing accusations of money laundering, drug trafficking, and involvement in a criminal organization. His wife, Verónica Hidalgo, has publicly expressed support for him while describing the impact of a police raid on their home. Meanwhile, in Mexico, lawyer Herminia Báez Vázquez has accused the Veracruz State Attorney General’s Office of conducting an illegal search, assaulting her, and intimidating her children during a raid. She alleges that officers attempted to coerce a confession and stole personal valuables.

In El Salvador, a Honduran woman, María Liliam Morán Bustillo, was detained for providing a mobile phone to an inmate receiving medical treatment. While the family maintains she was unaware of the legal implications, police have opened a process regarding the supply of telecommunications equipment to prisoners. In the Dominican Republic, lawyer Sandra Maribel Furcal Guzmán was arrested at the Dajabón border for transporting migrants illegally. This follows a previous 2012 arrest for allegedly altering narcotics case files. She is currently subject to a travel ban and periodic reporting requirements.
