VOICED : Fiscalía imputa cuatro delitos a periodista opositor en Guatemala

The Guatemalan prosecutor's office charged journalist José Rubén Zamora with money laundering, conspiracy, influence peddling, and extortion. Zamora, head of El Periódico, was arrested in July after his home and newspaper office were raided. The newspaper has reported on alleged corruption involving President Alejandro Giammattei and Attorney General Consuelo Porras. Prosecutor Cintia Monterroso claims Zamora laundered $37,500 with banker Ronald García's help, allegedly obtained through extortion. Zamora argues his arrest is politically motivated, while the government denies involvement, sparking calls to uphold press freedom.
