The exit of the Superintendence of Tax Administration (SAT), Carlos Muñoz, was benefited with an extension of the substitute measures in the Aceros case.
Muñoz was favored by a resolution of Judge Claudette Domínguez, who expands the house arrest. The decision was taken during a coercion measures review hearing in that case.
Before this resolution, Muñoz could only mobilize in the capital, Chimaltenango and Escuintla. The defense of the former official requested that he be allowed to move throughout the country; However, the judge only authorized her mobility in Quetzaltenango, San Marcos, Retalhuleu, Sacatepéquez, Chiquimula and El Progreso.
The Aceros case is still pending due to a series of legal resources. In this process, the Public Ministry (MP) discovered a network dedicated to the irregular return of tax credits and to commit defraud acts.
