GUATEMALA CITY (AFP) -
Police in Guatemala arrested a ruling party lawmaker Saturday for involvement in plotting a 2015 killing of journalists.
Julio Juarez, of the FCN-Nacion party, was arrested near his home in San Bernardino, Suchitepequez, south of the capital.
He is suspected of having masterminded the killings, a spokeswoman for prosecutors said.
In December, the 37-year-old lawmaker made a US list of alleged human rights abusers and people engaging in corruption around the world.
