Officials from Nicaragua’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently granted political asylum to controversial Guatemalan businessman and political broker Gustavo Herrera Castillo, La Prensa reported on August 22.
Guatemala’s Attorney General’s Office and the United Nations-backed International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG) have for years been investigating Herrera for his alleged role in a multimillion-dollar corruption scandal within the country’s Social Security Institute (IGSS).
