Guatemalan prosecutors on Monday arrested Claudia González, the former representative of a United Nations-backed anti-corruption commission.

President Alejandro Giammattei's administration has been accused by civil society organizations and foreign governments of systemically pursuing those who worked with the U.N. mission. Some 30 judges, magistrates and prosecutors involved in the investigation or processing of those corruption cases have been forced to flee the country after facing legal action.Perhaps the CICIG’s greatest achievement was the investigation and prosecution of President Otto Pérez Molina, who was forced to resign along with his Cabinet in 2015.
Over 12 years, the CICIG supported Guatemala's Special Prosecutors Office Against Impunity in dismantling dozens of criminal networks while at the same time building its capacity to handle complex corruption cases.
