A number of 242 (approximately 67.6 percent) are under investigation, 63 have been dismissed, 18 have been archived, four have been closed through discretionary prosecution, only one has an arrest warrant, and another is in the sentencing phase, detailed the mechanism in effect since May of last year.

The complaints relate to the administrative sector (131), health (59), infrastructure (45), security (43), labor (16), and education and social development (14), among others.

In response to the alleged cover-up attempt by the MP and a question from the local press, President Bernardo Arevalo reiterated that no case will go unattended or unpunished. The president emphasized that combating this problem is a shared responsibility, requiring sustained action from all government agencies.

“We are facing a phenomenon that has become entrenched over more than two decades of power grabs; therefore, we assume the obligation to confront this structure that has damaged our institutions,” the president remarked.

Arevalo explained that each complaint is rigorously reviewed and translated into concrete measures to punish those responsible and prevent further irregularities.
