GUATEMALA: Cicig chief resigns to lift the lid on a can of worms
It took the resignation of Carlos Castresana, head of the UN
anti-impunity commission in Guatemala, to provide a dramatic illustration of how
the country's deeply embedded 'parallel structures' operate — and to abort their
takeover of the public prosecution service. Though all the details are not yet
known, the conspiracy Castresana uncovered, with its roots in the notorious
Rosenberg murder case, designed to topple the government of President Álvaro
Colom, involved people prominent in the country's political and judicial
establishment.
