Guatemalan president requests Attorney General Porras's impeachment to fight 'corruption'

Guatemalan President Bernardo Arevalo says he has asked Congress for legal reform to remove Attorney General Consuelo Porras from office amid a corruption investigation.

The country's top prosecutor, who he accuses of plotting to oust him, is already under US and EU sanctions for corruption.

"I cannot allow this injustice to continue," he states.
