Felipe Alejos Lorenzena

Alejos Lorenzena is a Deputy and Vice President of the Board of Directors of the Congress of Guatemala. He is alleged to have been involved in serious corruption using his position to attract clients with the offer of expediting the refund of tax credits in exchange for bribes, and benefitting from commission charges. He is suspected of being responsible for, and facilitated or provided support for, and benefitting from, serious corruption.

Lorenzana reportedly sought to influence the judicial selection process for appointing magistrates to Guatemala’s Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ) and Court of Appeals. Together, with Gustavo Adolfo Alejos Cambara, they allegedly facilitated bribes to congressional representatives and judges in an attempt to interfere with the magistrates’ appointments and subsequently secure favourable judicial rulings that would protect Cambara from current and future criminal prosecutions.
