Guatemala ups 迫害 of those who 追求するd the corrupt

GUATEMALA CITY (AP) - The Guatemalan 政府´s 成果/努力 to undo more than a 10年間 of 国際連合-支援するd anti-汚職 work moved even beyond its 国境s this week, in what 専門家s say is an 選挙 year 試みる/企てる to 保証する 保守的な 投票者s its like won´t be seen again.

Guatemalan 検察官,検事s 発表するd their 意向 to 追求する 合法的な 活動/戦闘 against Colombian Iv?n Vel?squez, who led the U.N.´s anti-汚職 使節団 in Guatemala. Vel?squez, who is now Colombia´s 弁護 大臣, and 検察官,検事s the U.N. helped train dealt blow after blow to Guatemalan 汚職 over 12 years until the 政府 辞退するd to 新たにする their 委任統治(領) in 2019.

Since then, the 行政 of 大統領 Alejandro Giammattei has been (刑事)被告 by civil society organizations and foreign 政府s of systemically 追求するing those who worked with the U.N. 使節団, best known by its Spanish 初期の CICIG.

Some 30 裁判官s, 治安判事s and 検察官,検事s 伴う/関わるd in the 調査 or 過程ing of those 汚職 事例/患者s have been 軍隊d to 逃げる the country after 直面するing 合法的な 活動/戦闘 from the 現在の 行政.

Giammattei is not 適格の for re-選挙 in June, but his Vamos party will put 今後 a 国家の 国会議員 as its 候補者. The 選挙 約束s to be a 解放する/自由な-for-all with some 30 parties 参加するing. No Guatemalan party has ever been re-elected to the 大統領/総裁などの地位 for 連続した 条件.

"This fits with an 選挙(人)の 目的. It is an indirect 選挙(人)の 申し込む/申し出ing for those 部門s that are benefitting or are going to 利益 from the 取り去る/解体するing of everything that has to do with the CICIG," said Tiziano Breda, a Latin America 専門家 with the Italy-based Istituto Affari Internazionali. "And it 保証するs that in the 事例/患者 of the 延長/続編 of this 政府 the 取り去る/解体するing will continue."

Perhaps the CICIG's greatest 業績/成就 was the 調査 and 起訴 of 大統領 Otto P?rez Molina, who was 軍隊d to 辞職する along with his 閣僚 in 2015.

In 新規加入 to 逆転するing the 業績/成就s made against 汚職, Breda said, the 現在の 政府's (選挙などの)運動をする against those associated with anti-汚職 成果/努力s "tries to change the narrative about what CICIG (機の)カム to do in the country and what it 遂行するd."

Guatemala's 現在の anti-汚職 検察官,検事, Rafael Curruchiche Cacul, 主張するs Vel?squez improperly entered into a 協調 協定 with Brazilian construction 巨大(な) Odebrecht while 調査/捜査するing that 会社/堅い´s 広範囲にわたる 贈収賄 操作/手術s across the 地域. That 協調 協定 was 認可するd by a Guatemalan 裁判官.

Curruchiche Cacul was 許可/制裁d by the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs last year for 恐らく 妨害するing 汚職 調査s and 追求するing instead 調査s against former anti-汚職 検察官,検事s and 裁判官s.

Colombian 大統領 Gustavo Petro defended Vel?squez, 説 the corrupt are now 追求するing him even years after he left Guatemala.

Farhan Haq, 広報担当者 for U.N. 長官 General Ant?nio Guterres, said Wednesday they were aware of the 意向 of Guatemalan 検察官,検事s to take 活動/戦闘 against Vel?squez and 繰り返し言うd the 免疫 he and others 保持する.

"The 長官-General 表明するs his 関心 at the 非常に/多数の 報告(する)/憶測s 示唆するing that 犯罪の 起訴 is 存在 演習d against those who sought to shed light on 事例/患者s of 汚職 and worked to 強化する the 司法(官) system in Guatemala," Haq said.

Gabriela Carreta, a political scientist at Rafael Landivar University, said the 活動/戦闘s of Curruchiche Cacul 目的(とする) to send "a (疑いを)晴らす message that never again will there be 調査s against 汚職, nor a seach for 司法(官), much いっそう少なく with foreign 介入."
