Guatemala court rules for return of chief of anti-graft body

Guatemala's constitutional court on Sunday made a provisional ruling by a unanimous vote to allow the chief of a United Nations-backed anti-graft body to return to the country, a spokesman told a press conference at the court.

President Jimmy Morales last month announced the shuttering of the commission, and subsequently barred its head from returning to the country, a move that triggered global criticism and street protests across the Central American nation.
