NewzGuatemala City has dissolved a special prosecution unit that was originally established during the mandate of the now-defunct International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG). The specialized prosecutor's office, which operated between 2007 and 2019, was responsible for handling high-profile cases involving corruption and impunity.
The elimination of the office is part of a broader institutional re-structuring process within the country's judicial or prosecutorial framework. The closure marks a further dismantling of structures tied to the UN-backed anti-impunity commission, which had a significant impact on Guatemalan politics and law enforcement during its operational years.
