A/HRC/60/62 (A/HRC/WGAD/2023/24, para. 109). In January 2024, Ms. Laparra was released under non-custodial measures, such as house arrest, prohibition to leave the country and biometric control checks every 15 days in court, after 680 days of detention. 70. According to information received by OHCHR, on 8 July 2024, a second judgement was issued against Ms. Laparra, finding her guilty of disclosing confidential information from a case in 2017. She was sentenced to a commutable five-year sentence, a ten-year ban from holding public office, and a fine amounting to 50,000 quetzales. Right after the issuance of the sentence and under the constant threat of detention, Ms. Laparra decided to leave the country. In April 2025, the Public Prosecutor’s Office and plaintiffs reportedly requested the revocation of the alternative measures to the deprivation of liberty of Ms. Laparra. Even though the petition was dismissed by the sentencing court, plaintiffs reportedly requested that the Fifth Chamber of Appeals for Criminal Matters, Drug Trafficking and Crimes against the Environment of Quetzaltenango declare Ms. Laparra in contempt and revoke the alternative measures. They also reportedly requested that the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) issue a Red Notice for her international arrest. The Chamber has not yet responded to this request. 71. The case of Ms. Leily Santizo, a lawyer and former CICIG employee, was included in the 2022 and 2023 reports of the Secretary-General75 on allegations of two undue criminal proceedings against her on charges of obstruction of justice. According to information received by OHCHR, during the reporting period, the Constitutional Court lifted the “total confidentiality” order in her case. Reportedly, this procedural measure, which restricts access to case information and proceedings for all parties, was requested over 28 times by the Public Prosecutor’s Office. Reportedly, a recusal request against the fourth judge of the Criminal Court is pending and arrest warrants issued against Ms. Santizo remain outstanding. Despite having left the country, Ms. Santizo has reportedly continued to suffer the consequences of ongoing criminal proceedings abroad, including efforts to issue an international migration alert and a formal extradition request. 72. During the reporting period, reprisals also allegedly continued against former judge Ms. Érika Aifán, who has been included in reports of the Secretary-General since 201976 on allegations of intimidation, attacks and reprisals from State and non-state actors linked to her decisions on high impact and emblematic cases. Special procedure mandate holders addressed her case on several occasions.77 Reportedly, an arrest order was issued in May 2023 against Ms. Aifán in connection with her judicial functions in a high-profile case investigated in collaboration with CICIG. According to information received by OHCHR, in December 2024, a new arrest warrant was reportedly issued against Ms. Aifán and another individual, on the grounds that their personal relationship may have influenced her judicial decisions. 73. The case of Mr. Juan Francisco Sandoval, former Chief of the FECI, was included in the 2020 and 2024 reports of the Secretary-General78, on allegations of intimidation and reprisals for cooperating with the CICIG. 74. According to information received by OHCHR, one extradition request and seven arrest warrants have been issued against Mr. Sandoval, the last on 18 March 2025. Reportedly, on 13 March 2025, the Public Prosecutor’s Office added new charges that had not been originally considered. 75. The case of Mr. Stuardo Ernesto Campo Aguilar, former anti-corruption prosecutor and former Chief of FECI, was included in the 2024 report of the Secretary-General79 in relation to his detention on charges of abuse of authority, due to a complaint in connection with his work on high-profile cases investigated with the technical assistance of the CICIG. 75 A/HRC/51/47, Annex I paras. 29-30; A/HRC/54/61, Annex II paras. 63-64.
