State Dept. Designates Guatemalan Congressperson

The State Department designated Guatemalan Congressperson Boris Espana Caceres due to “significant corruption,” the agency said June 17. The State Department said Espana has been involved in bribery and has “jeopardized the stability of Guatemala’s democratic institutions.” The agency also designated his spouse, Liliana Maria Umana Lemus de Espana; his daughter, Karol Andrea Espana Umana; and his minor child.
