Description
A Guatemalan court sentences a former anti-corruption prosecutor to five years in prison, or a fine, in a case slammed by Amnesty International as "politically motivated" retribution. Virginia Laparra, 44, has been found guilty of disclosing confidential information, months after she was released on house arrest following two years of detention in another case widely denounced as stitched up.
"We are facing a justice system that has been totally corrupted, where, as I have said before, major acts of corruption are forgiven," says Laparra following the verdict. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
