The two war criminals were sentenced to 120 and 240 years in prison respectively, but they had escaped justice for more than two decades.

After official documents of the era were declassified, it became clear that U. S. officials—–especially the CIA--were aware of the excesses and war crimes of the Guatemalan military, but did little to stop it. See Quotes 583699, and 583697 for more on the American involvement.]
