Guatemalan businessmen build roads as part of bribery sentence

Nine Guatemalan businessmen who were sentenced on Wednesday for paying bribes to receive public contracts will have to build roads and a school in the country as part of their punishment, according to a U.N.-backed anti-corruption body.

The businessmen were implicated in a web of corruption exposed last year by the Guatemalan prosecutor’s office and the U.N.-backed International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala.
