Guatemala: Departure of top officials prompts transparency concerns
Guatemala’s interior minister Francisco Rivas stepped down last month. His departure follows the removal of other top officials who were similarly well respected, such as director of the tax authorities (SAT) Juan Francisco Solórzano Foppa. These changes have sparked fresh concerns regarding the future of anti-corruption efforts, doubts which have since been fanned by reports earlier this month that the government led by President Jimmy Morales is once again seeking the removal of the director of the United Nations (UN)-backed anti-impunity commission in Guatemala (Cicig), Iván Velásquez (see below).
