(AI translated) At a hearing on November 11, 2024, she was convicted of the crimes of electoral funds control and unregistered electoral financing. A bond of Q.20,000.00 was set, and a sentence of 1 year in prison for each crime, which is reduced by 50% since the lawyer adhered to a plea bargain process after being deprived of her liberty for 90 days.
