As a prosecutor in the Public Ministry (Ministerio Público, MP), a foreign public official performing a judicial or executive function, Monterroso was promoted to Head of Unit at the Special Prosecution Office Against Impunity (Fiscalía Especial contra la Impunidad, FECI). She received this advantage to induce her to perform a public function improperly, namely by intentionally undermining corruption investigations into the political elite that nominated her. (2) Monterroso is or has been involved in serious corruption, by being responsible for the investigation or prosecution of serious corruption and intentionally failing to fulfil that responsibility. As a prosecutor in the MP, a foreign public official performing a judicial or executive function, Monterroso was promoted to Head of Unit at the FECI. She received this advantage to induce her to perform a public function improperly, namely by intentionally undermining corruption investigations into the political elite that nominated her. (3) Monterroso is or has been involved in serious corruption by using threats and intimidation to interfere in a law enforcement or judicial process in connection with serious corruption. As a prosecutor in the MP, a foreign public official performing a judicial or executive function, Monterroso was promoted to Head of Unit at the FECI. She received this advantage to induce her to perform a public function improperly, namely by intentionally launching baseless legal challenges against noted journalists and judicial figures who had uncovered corruption in order to silence them.
