The Guatemalan Supreme Court ruled that the investigation of President Otto Perez Molina on corruption charges is in the hands of the country's congress. Lawmakers will be forming a commission in the next few hours to decide whether to strip the embattled president of his immunity from prosecution. Massive demonstrations have been sparked by a major corruption scandal involving bribes to top level officials to avoid paying customs duties and protesters have been demanding Perez's resignation. The president's right-wing Patriot Party does not have a majority in congress. teleSUR
