"Guatemalan journalist José Rubén Zamora, president and founder of the morning newspaper elPeriódico, denounced this Tuesday [Oct. 19] before the general public that the head of the Executive, Alejandro Giammattei, together with the attorney general and head of the public prosecutor's office, Consuelo Porras, 'are fabricating' a case against him to incarcerate him.
