The shouting of a group of police officers who were trying to open a glass door by force, was the starting point of the second illegal raid against the studios of the
Esta Semana and
Esta Noche TV programs, and
CONFIDENCIAL. The attack was conducted yesterday, May 20th, without a warrant, when riot police entered the building after Leonel Gutiérrez, the audiovisual producer and cameraman of both independent programs, opened the door to prevent them from destroying it.
Gutiérrez and a cleaning employee from the Invercasa corporate center where the studios were temporarily located were the only people in the small space. Frightened, both tried to find out what was going on. The answer was that police authorities were “raiding” the offices of the Violeta Barrios de Chamorro Foundation, a non-governmental organization that closed its operations on February 6, and which office was located in Plaza San José, at Kilometer 7 1/2 of Carretera Sur.
