Friday, July 31, 2015


Guatemala's Supreme Court has withdrawn the immunity from prosecution for three members of congress with alleged links to corruption.

The lawmakers from the opposition Lider party are suspected of money-laundering, illicit enrichment, abuse of authority and influence trafficking. They deny any wrongdoing and say the accusations are politically motivated attacks.
