Bryan Antonio Oliva was sentenced this Friday, June 19, by the Sixth Criminal Sentencing Court to 50 years incommutable prison for attempted murder, after being found guilty of participating in an armed attack that occurred in June 2025 against the assimilated major Maribel de Jesús Molina and two private security guards.
The accused was found guilty after his participation in an armed attack that occurred on June 10, 2025 against two guards from a private security company who was a victim of extortion was proven.
The two guards were unharmed; However, Guatemalan Army Major Maribel de Jesús Molina suffered injuries during the attack.
Oliva received a sentence of 16 years and eight months in prison for each of the three victims, which totals the 50-year sentence imposed.
The Prosecutor’s Office against the Crime of Femicide of the Public Ministry (MP) had requested a sentence of 50 years in prison against Bryan Antonio Oliva, accused of the crime of attempted murder for the armed attack that occurred in June 2025 against the assimilated major of the Guatemalan Army Maribel de Jesús Molina.
The petition was presented during the final phase of the trial held in the Sixth Criminal Sentencing Court.
According to the prosecution, a 25-year sentence should be imposed for each of the three victims: two private security guards and Molina. The sum of the sentences reached 75 years in prison; However, because the crime was pursued as attempted, the penalty was reduced by one third, so the requested sentence was set at 50 years.
During his arguments, Oliva’s defense maintained that his client worked as a motorcycle taxi driver by application and that on the day of the attack he was providing a service when the incident occurred.
According to that version, upon arriving at the scene, the passenger he was transporting shot at the guards of a security company and some projectiles hit Molina, who was injured.
The defense argued that Oliva was unaware of the actions that the passenger would commit and denied that he had participated with prior knowledge of the events.
Attack occurred in June 2025
The judicial process was continued against Oliva for events that occurred on June 10, 2025 on the Mateo Flores road, zone 7 of the capital.
According to the report from the National Civil Police (PNC), men traveling on a motorcycle shot at the vehicle Molina was driving.
As a result of the attack, the officer suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was taken to a healthcare center to receive medical attention.
