Guatemalan Public Prosecutor Rafael Curruchiche accused Colombian Attorney General Luz Adriana Camargo and former Colombian Defence Minister Ivan Velasquez of corruption, influence peddling, obstruction of justice, and collusion. In a statement released on Monday, Guatemala’s government said it “emphatically rejects the arrest warrants”. Colombia’s attorney general also rejected the charges in a press conference in Bogota on Wednesday. “I am comforted by the tranquility of my innocence in the crimes that have been attributed to me by political bias,” said Camargo. Arevalo went on to win the elections, assuming office in January 2024. The arrest warrants are part of a wider pattern of judicial overreach.
