The saga around the recent presidential scandal in Guatemala has been in the news of late. There is an excellent summary here of what has transpired and why, if you’d like the whole story.
From the article:
On the first day of September, Guatemala’s Congress voted to end President Otto Pérez Molina’s immunity from prosecution. Crowds gathered outside Congress, setting off fireworks and celebrating the decision. The vote followed months of mass mobilizations against corruption and popular calls for Pérez Molina’s resignation.
The following day, the ousted president was in jail.
