Despite the fact that the aforementioned sentence is commutable, Virginia Laparra has currently been deprived of her liberty for more than 14 months, due to the fact that in a second trial once morest her, she was ordered preventive detention.
On January 4 of this year, the former prosecutor of the Public Ministry was linked to criminal proceedings and on April 21 she was sent to trial for the possible commission of the crime of revealing confidential or reserved information, this fact would also be related to the former judge Castellanos.
The First Criminal Sentencing Court of Quetzaltenango will be in charge of the oral and public debate that is scheduled for May 22.
