Guatemala arrests 9 in lawyer-killing scandal
By JUAN CARLOS LLORCA (AP) – 4 hours ago

GUATEMALA CITY — Authorities in Guatemala arrested nine suspects Friday, including five police officers, in the killing of a prominent lawyer who accused President Alvaro Colom of involvement in his death in a posthumously released video.

The arrests were announced by a special investigation group known as the International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala, which was invited by the government to probe the May 10 murder of lawyer Rodrigo Rosenberg.

"The result (of the investigation) is not a product of the imagination, nor a matter of leaks or witnesses, because we don't have a single witness," said Carlos Castrensana, a Spaniard who is head of the commission. "But it is unquestionable because it is accompanied by overwhelming scientific evidence."

The five officers arrested Friday are members of the national police force. The other two suspects are an ex-police officer and a former soldier. Castrensana said investigators identified the suspects through security camera footage showing a vehicle believed to contain Rosenberg's killers.

The commission said another set of suspects planned and ordered the killing, but it did not release their names or a possible motive to avoid compromising the investigation.
