Following an attack on police officers in Morales, Izabal, Guatemalan authorities have arrested five suspects believed to be connected to a criminal organization known as “El Carpintero.” Preliminary investigations suggest this group is involved in drug trafficking operations across multiple departments in Guatemala. The arrested individuals are currently being investigated for their alleged participation in the shooting of PNC (National Civil Police) agents. Authorities have not yet released details regarding the extent of the injuries sustained by the officers. “El Carpintero” is reportedly a significant player in the country’s illicit drug trade, and this incident marks a focused effort to dismantle its operations. Further investigations are underway to identify additional members and uncover the full scope of the group’s activities.
