Marco Antonio Villeda

politician unknown

Marco Antonio Villeda is a Guatemalan lawyer and former judge known for his work in asset forfeiture, having confiscated ill-gotten fortunes from ex-officials, former presidents, and drug traffickers over a decade. Recently appointed as Minister of Gobernación, he faces significant challenges related to public security and prison reform in Guatemala, particularly following a scandal involving the escape of gang members. His legal background and understanding of criminal financial networks position him to tackle the deep-rooted issues within the penitentiary system and address the alarming rise in criminal activities.
