This Thursday, November 16, personnel from the Public Ministry (MP) carry out 31 search procedures for a case of usurpation and depredation of cultural property.

It’s news. According to the MP, the Prosecutor’s Office for Crimes against the Cultural Heritage of the Nation coordinates the operations with the National Civil Police (PNC). “The search procedures are coordinated as a follow-up to the ongoing investigation,” said the MP. Investigators hope to make about 25 arrests.

He added that the arrest warrants were issued for the possible commission of four crimes: continuous aggravated usurpation, continuous depredation of cultural property, continuous sedition and illicit association. The MP argued that because the operations are in progress, he cannot reveal information about the file; however, it was published on social networks that the process is against the people who took over the facilities of the central campus of the University of San Carlos of Guatemala (Usac). . Minutes before the MP confirmed the operations, Marcela Blanco, a member of the Semilla Movement, published on social networks: “The MP is now in my house. “This is rubbish.” To clarify the information about the case, the MP offered to expand the details at the conclusion of the process. “Since the proceedings are in progress, the information will be expanded as they progress,” he indicated.
