		Over a year later, on February 3, 2000, Zacapa police arrested the suspected material author of the crime, a former employee of a company owned by individuals linked to Mayor Vargas.(10) MINUGUA issued a highly critical report about the case, which concluded that the legal system in Zacapa had seriously mishandled the investigation.
		Errors included the absence of Public Ministry (prosecutors office) investigators at the scene, which impeded the collection of evidence; a week-long delay by the court in notifying the police when the arrest warrant was issued; illegal detention; and exposing a witness to death threats by improperly revealing his name.
		As noted by the U.S. State Department Report, these firings in 1999 were "ostensibly" for the workers' participation in the unauthorized strike staged in March 1996.
