Five Save the Children offices have been raided by Guatemalan police as part of a child trafficking investigation led by a controversial prosecutor.
Rafael Curruchiche, the lead prosecutor in the case, has said the operation is part of a “transnational investigation of great importance”.
Mr Curruchiche said the raids were connected to “possible violations and abuses against Guatemalan children” and that officers had seized potential “evidence”.
He did not name the British charity in his statement, but a spokesman for his office confirmed that the organisation in question was Save the Children.
The charity said it was “aware of the activity” at its offices and denied the allegations. “Following previous allegations against our organisation this year, no evidence of wrongdoing was found,” it said.
In April, Mr Curruchiche’s office asked its counterparts in Texas for information about the alleged smuggling of minors to the US. It is unclear whether Texan authorities responded. Both Mr Curruchiche and Ms Porras have been the target of US and European Union sanctions for their alleged attacks on Guatemala’s fragile democratic institutions.
