Guatemalan prosecutors are seeking prison sentences ranging from 12 to 60 years for seven former police officers. The charges stem from the deaths of Nelson Santamaría and Eldin Choc Xi. The alleged crime occurred in San Andrés Itzapa, in the department of Chimaltenango. The Public Ministry (MP) presented its case, detailing the accusations against the ex-officials. The prosecution argues the ex-police officers are responsible for the execution of Santamaría and Choc Xi. A court will now consider the evidence and determine the appropriate sentences, if any, for those convicted. This case highlights ongoing concerns regarding police accountability in Guatemala.
