Guatemalan prosecutors will appeal a recent court decision benefiting Pedro Duque, a former official implicated in the alleged embezzlement of Q20 million (approximately $2.5 million USD) from the CHN bank. The Public Ministry (MP) investigation asserts Duque played a central role in a scheme involving irregular loans and the diversion of funds. Authorities allege Duque was part of a structure responsible for managing these illicit financial activities. The case, known as “Caso CHN,” centers on accusations of financial crimes within the now-defunct CHN bank. The appeal aims to overturn the ruling and allow the prosecution to continue building its case against Duque. This development signals continued efforts to address corruption related to the CHN bank scandal. The outcome of the appeal will determine whether Duque faces further legal proceedings.
