Guatemalan Prosecutors Raid Save the Children Offices Amid Abuse Allegations

The raids are part of a transnational investigation into alleged child abuse and trafficking, involving requests for assistance from Texas authorities.

Guatemalan authorities raided Save the Children's offices in Guatemala City following allegations of child abuse and potential trafficking.
The complaint, leading to the raid, suggested violations against migrant children's rights, prompting a search for supporting documents.
Save the Children denies any misconduct, asserting rigorous independent investigations and adherence to strict safeguarding standards.
The raids have sparked international attention, with the organization operating in Guatemala since 1976, primarily aiding migrant children and families.
The involvement of controversial figures in Guatemala's justice system, accused of undermining democracy, adds complexity to the case.
