Guatemala's Attorney General's Office has called for 40 years in prison against journalist José Rubén Zamora. Prosecutor Cinthia Monterroso has made the request to the judge in charge of the process, Oly González.
Zamora is the founder of the newspaper elPeriódico, which since 1996 became one of the most respected in Guatemala. The journalist has assured since he was arrested nine months ago that he is innocent and that it is "a set-up" and a "political trial"
