Guatemala president expels UN anti-corruption chief

‘Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales announced Sunday he is expelling the head of a UN anti-corruption commission that is investigating the president’s campaign financing.
A video posted on the government’s Twitter site showed Morales declaring Ivan Velasquez “non grata” and ordering him to leave the country immediately. He also announced he was firing Foreign Minister Carlos Raul Morales for failure to carry out the expulsion.
Velasquez heads a 10-year-old commission of experts that has worked with Guatemalan prosecutors to root out corruption in the country. It was key to bringing down former President Otto Perez Molina, who was forced to resign in 2015 and remains in prison.’
