Guatemala ex-first lady told not to leave country (AP)

GUATEMALA CITY ? A judge has ordered Guatemala's former first lady not to leave the country while she is under investigation for possible misuse of government funds.

Sandra Torres has not been formally charged with any wrongdoing. But Judge Yadel Reynoso issued the order for the ex-wife of President Alvaro Colom on Thursday, two days before Colom leaves office and president-elect Otto Perez is sworn in.

Torres divorced Colom in 2011 to try to run for the president. But her candidacy was declared ineligible by the Supreme Court because the constitution bars family members of a president from running.

Torres oversaw a government anti-poverty program, and a legislator filed a criminal complaint against Torres last year alleging she misused funds.
