After an eight-month investigation, a U.N. agency concluded in January that Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom played no role in the May 2009 death of lawyer Rodrigo Rosenberg — despite a video left by Rosenberg saying that if he were found dead, Colom would be the one to blame. The panel said evidence indicated that Rosenberg had orchestrated his own murder to try to frame Colom, whom he blamed for involvement in the earlier slaying of his girlfriend and her father, a prominent businessman.
