WASHINGTON - U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has authorized the first transfer of forfeited Russian assets for use in Ukraine, he said on Wednesday. The Justice Department last year charged Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeyev with violating sanctions imposed on Russia after its invasion of Ukraine, saying he provided financing for Russians promoting separatism in Crimea. At that time, Garland said, he also announced "the seizure of millions of dollars from an account at a U.S. financial institution traceable to Malofeyev's sanctions violations.

GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — Guatemala's top electoral authority said Sunday it blocked the suspension of President-elect Bernardo Arévalo's Seed Movement, at least temporarily giving the party back its legal status and cutting off an attempt by opposing political forces to weaken Arévalo. The decision by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal came days after the electoral registry suspended the party on a judge's order. The Attorney General's office is investigating whether there was wrongdoing in the gathering of required signatures for the party's formation years earlier.
