JONATHAN GUARDIA ANDRIÓN, son  of  former  National Assistance Program (PAN)  Director, Rafael Guardia Jaen was  released from El Renacer prison  on Friday, but his father, facing multiple charges, remains behind bars.

Both the son and daughter,Loraine Brigitte Guardia Juárez, remain under investigation, accused of money laundering in relation to multi-million dollar transactions made by their father while in office. The daughter was released from her cell at the Directorate of Judicial Investigation (DIJ), a week ago.

The measure of freedom for the siblings became effective after the Second Higher Criminal Court rejected the appeal by 5th Anti-Corruption prosecutor Janeth Rovetto, against bail granted by the 15th  Court.

The judge ordered country  detention for both and they have  to report to the prosecutor every 15 days.

They were detained in August.
