Guatemala’s Constitutional Court has ordered President Jimmy Morales to allow the head of a U.N.-backed anti-corruption commission to return to the country.
Ivan Velasquez is the head of the commission known as CICIG for its initials in Spanish. It has led a number of high-profile graft investigations, including one that is pending against Mr. Morales.
Earlier this month the president announced that he would not renew CICIG’s mandate for another two-year term, effectively giving it a year to wind down and end its activities.
The court’s ruling was announced late Sunday.
