Perspective Writing
At the moment, the charges against González have not been reported and it was unofficially known that there are also arrest warrants against Sandoval and the former prosecutor Eva Siomara Sosa. The proceedings were ordered by the tenth judge B, as reported in the media.
The investigative entity explained that, as part of the proceedings of the case, a property was raided in San Miguel Petapa where firearms and cash were located.
During the first hours of this Monday, through a publication on social networks, Sandoval said that MP prosecutors were conducting searches at the home of his parents and his lawyer, Claudia González.
According to the former prosecutor, who is in the United States and has several arrest warrants and even an extradition request, his parents are elderly and “are being intimidated” for the actions and work he carried out at the time in the PM.
