GUATEMALA CITY (AP) 鈥� A Guatemalan appeals court on Friday overturned the order and ordered his return to jail.
Zamora, founder of El Peri贸dico newspaper, had spent more than two years in jail awaiting trial before a judge granted him house arreast in October.
Prosecutors appealed the order and on Friday another court ordered the 68-year-old journalist continue waiting in jail.
Zamora had been imprisoned since July 2022, when he was charged with money laundering, amounting to around $38,000, and in June 2023 he was sentenced to six years in prison. The sentence was overturned by an appeals court because of errors in the process, but he鈥檚 waiting to see if he will be granted a retrial.
