GUATEMALA: Morales’ credibility suffers a knock
President Jimmy Morales’ 2015 campaign pledge to address corruption is coming under unprecedented scrutiny. Last week the attorney general’s office (AG) issued an order barring his son, José Manuel, and brother, Samuel Everardo, from leaving the country. The order was issued amid suspicion of their involvement in a scandal involving the national property registry office (RGP) which took place under the previous Partido Patriota (PP) government led by Otto Pérez Molina (2012-2015), forced to quit last year over corruption. The scandal is a blow to President Morales who took office in January after winning election on an anti-corruption platform.
