Rafael Ángel Zamora

Rafael Ángel Zamora, the owner of Pedregal, was recently sentenced to three years in prison for environmental damage and water usurpation. His legal troubles stem from activities conducted between 2008 and 2010, which allegedly involved illegally diverting water from the Higuerón River and damaging protected forest areas. The court's ruling includes conditional execution of the sentence, allowing him to avoid prison unless further offenses occur during the probation period.
