Guatemala Orders Slain Lawyer's Relatives
Arrested
GUATEMALA (AP) - An attorney says Guatemalan
authorities have ordered the arrest of two
cousins of a prominent lawyer who accused
President Alvaro Colom of involvement in his
slaying in a video released posthumously.
Lawyer Edwin Mis says brothers Francisco and
Jose Valdes Paiz are being sought for
allegedly ordering the May 10 killing of
Rodrigo Rosenberg. Eleven people have
already been arrested.
Mis said Wednesday that the arrest warrants
were issued Dec. 9 and police raided his
clients' homes and offices the following
day. Mis didn't say where his clients are or
whether they would turn themselves in.
Rosenberg made a video before he was slain
charging that Colom would be involved if the
lawyer was killed. Colom has denied any
connection. |
