The Public Ministry, through the Prosecutor’s Office against the Extortion, has obtained reparation for victims of extortion and related crimes for USD 127 000 through the issuance of convictions.

These reparations have helped several institutions for social, health, and educational purposes, amounting to USD 9,400, and have also resulted in the donation of desks to schools in Zone 18 in Guatemala City. 

As a result, members of the National Division Against the Criminal Development of Gangs -DIPANDA- in Chimaltenango benefited from the donation of computer equipment.
