(Date of UN designation: 2024-02-02)
José Curruchiche Cucul is the Head of the Special Prosecution Office Against Impunity (FECI), which operates under the Public Ministry (Ministerio Público) of Guatemala (equivalent to the Public Prosecutor’s Office). Under his leadership, the FECI spearheaded the ongoing investigation into the creation of the political party Movimiento Semilla of President Arévalo. He personally participated in the raid by the Public Ministry of the premises of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal that entailed the opening of sealed ballot boxes. Additionally, he was involved in the request for the suspension of the legal personality of Movimiento Semilla in July 2023. Furthermore, in December 2023 he participated in a press conference where the Public Ministry presented claims that the outcome of the first round of elections in June 2023 was invalid. He has been personally involved in the spurious investigation into and the spurious prosecution of democratically elected authorities, former representatives of the media (such as journalist José Rubén Zamora), as well as justice operators, especially the spurious investigation into and the spurious prosecution of those who fought against corruption and impunity with the International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG). Through those actions, José Curruchiche Cucul is involved in efforts to overturn the results of the 2023 elections in Guatemala. He is therefore responsible for actions that undermine democracy, the rule of law and the peaceful transfer of power in Guatemala.
Position(s): Head of the Special Prosecution Office Against Impunity, Public Ministry (Ministerio Público) of Guatemala
José Curruchiche Cucul est le chef du bureau du procureur spécial contre l’impunité (FECI), qui opère sous l’autorité du ministère public (Ministerio Público) du Guatemala (équivalent du parquet). Sous sa direction, le FECI est à l’origine de l’enquête en cours sur la création du parti politique du président Arévalo, Movimiento Semilla. Il a participé personnellement à la perquisition menée par le ministère public dans les locaux du Tribunal suprême électoral, qui a entraîné l’ouverture d’urnes scellées. En outre, il a participé à la demande de suspension de la personnalité juridique de Movimiento Semilla en juillet 2023. Par ailleurs, en décembre 2023, il a participé à une conférence de presse au cours de laquelle le ministère public a fait valoir que les résultats du premier tour des élections, tenu en juin 2023, étaient invalides. Il a été personnellement impliqué dans les enquêtes et poursuites fallacieuses visant des autorités démocratiquement élues, d’anciens représentants des médias (comme le journaliste José Rubén Zamora), ainsi que des professionnels de la justice, en particulier les enquêtes et poursuites fallacieuses de ceux qui ont lutté contre la corruption et l’impunité auprès de la Commission internationale contre l’impunité au Guatemala (CICIG). Par ces actions, José Curruchiche Cucul participe aux efforts visant à annuler les résultats des élections de 2023 au Guatemala. Il est donc responsable d’actions portant atteinte à la démocratie, à l’état de droit et à une passation de pouvoir pacifique au Guatemala.
