Swiss court upholds 14-year sentence for Sperisen, former Guatemalan police chief

The Swiss Federal Tribunal has upheld a 14-year prison sentence against Erwin Sperisen, the former chief of the Guatemalan National Police. The ruling confirms his conviction for complicity in seven murders committed during his tenure between 2004 and 2007.

This decision follows an appeal filed by Sperisen against a previous court ruling. The confirmation of the sentence marks the latest development in the long-standing legal proceedings held in Switzerland regarding his actions while leading the Guatemalan police force.
