Guatemala Court Overrules Order To Expel UN Official




   Guatemala's highest court has overruled an order by President Jimmy Morales to expel the head of the UN anti-corruption mission in the country.

   The Constitutional Court suspended the deportation order against Iván Velásquez, who backed an investigation into funding irregularities in the president's 2015 election campaign.
   Report says, Morales had accused Velásquez of interfering in domestic affairs.
The deportation order had been internationally criticised.
   Meanwhile, the UN has backed calls for the removal of Morales's immunity so he can be investigated.
