(AI translated) He was indicted on January 29, 2025, charged with ideological falsehood in the so-called "Seed Case". The lawyer is running on a slate and vying to win the elections at the Guatemalan Bar Association (CANG). The judge considered that there is a risk of flight and of obstructing the investigation by the Special Prosecutor's Office Against Impunity (FECI), hence his decision for Masaya to remain in prison while the investigation is ongoing and until the charges are presented.
