Guatemala’s president-elect eyes charges against AG, judge

GUATEMALA’S president-elect is seeking to bring charges against the country’s attorney-general and a judge he claims are part of a “persecution” plot against him, according to a court document obtained yesterday.

It is the latest episode in a tug-of-war between Bernardo Arevalo and authorities who have repeatedly moved to act against the politician and his party after he unexpectedly won a presidential election last month.
