Guatemala probes ex-AG Porras over 1980s illegal adoptions

Guatemala's government, under President Arévalo, has opened an investigation into former Attorney General Consuelo Porras for alleged involvement in illegal adoptions during the 1980s, following a UN request for an independent probe. Porras, sanctioned by over 40 countries for corruption, faces scrutiny that marks a notable shift in accountability efforts against a previously powerful official. The investigation's outcome is uncertain, but it signals a potential escalation in anti-corruption measures.
