U.S. Places Guatemalan Prosecutors on Blacklist for Role in Trying to Overturn Arévalo Election
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The U.S. State Department has placed several prosecutors in Guatemala on
a corruption blacklist over their attempts to block Guatemala's
President-elect Bernardo Arévalo from taking office. Arévalo, who is
scheduled to be inaugurated on January 14, has accused his opponents of
waging a "slow-motion coup d'état" by attempting to overturn his
election victory.
