GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) -Lawmakers on Monday ratified the appointment of a judge linked to a judicial corruption probe to sit on Guatemala's top court, a few days before a visit by U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, whose government has urged the country to fight graft.
Nester Vasquez's ratification as one of five Constitutional Court justices comes after an autonomous anti-corruption prosecutor alleged in February that his prior appointment to a lower court was tainted by illicit influence-peddling.
