NewzThree lawyers have filed a partial challenge of unconstitutionality before the Constitutional Court of Guatemala regarding the country's recently enacted anti-money laundering legislation. The legal action specifically targets provisions that mandate professionals and notaries to disclose information, which the plaintiffs argue infringes upon professional secrecy protections.
The challenge seeks to strike down specific obligations within the new law that require legal practitioners to report activities or provide documentation that could compromise attorney-client privilege. The Constitutional Court is now tasked with reviewing the petition to determine if these regulatory requirements violate constitutional rights regarding professional confidentiality.
