The U.S. State Department has banned former Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei from entering the country, accusing him of "significant corruption." The move comes three days after Giammattei left office.
U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a statement Wednesday that the department has "credible information indicating that Giammattei accepted bribes in exchange for the performance of his public functions during his tenure as president of Guatemala, actions that undermined the rule of law and government transparency."
