Overview
In Peru, a judge has ordered 18 months of preventive detention for seven individuals, including former Tarma police commander David Walter Ramírez Panta. These individuals, comprising four police officers and three civilians, are linked to the ‘Los Apretadores’ criminal group and are accused of using threats and extortion to seize vehicles and demand money through fraudulent investment or rental schemes.
Simultaneously in Guatemala, the High Risk Tribunal B is nearing the conclusion of a trial involving seven former National Civil Police (PNC) agents. The defendants face accusations regarding the extrajudicial execution of Canadian citizen Nelson Santamaría and Guatemalan citizen Eldin Choc in San Andrés Itzapa, Chimaltenango. The Public Ministry is currently submitting documentary evidence as the case moves toward closing arguments and potential sentencing.
