Guatemalan MP seeks suspension of prosecution for PNC attack suspect

A Guatemalan congressman has requested the suspension of criminal proceedings against Edwin Fernando Xol Raymundo, accused of attacks on the National Civil Police (PNC). Investigations reportedly indicate Xol Raymundo has no connection to the January 2026 attacks on security forces, raising questions about the evidence basis. The request could signal political interference or a correction of a flawed case, with implications for judicial independence and public security policy.
