Guatemala holds judges and seizes jailed leader's farm

Thursday, September 24, 2015


Guatemalan prosecutors have arrested three judges on suspicion of corruption and other crimes.

Also, a judge placed a lien on a ranch owned by Otto Pérez Molina.

The former president is jailed and faces charges related to the customs fraud scandal in which businesses allegedly paid kickbacks to government officials in exchange for lower import duties.
