Mr Colom has taken some measures to tackle the crime wave. To the dismay of some of his left-wing allies, he has given a bigger role in fighting crime to the army, which killed thousands of civilians during the war. He has set up a new intelligence service. Arrests and weapons' seizures have gone up this year.
But Mr Rosenberg's allegations have raised worries as to whether Mr Colom's government is any cleaner than its predecessors. Critics object that Ms Torres, who has no cabinet role or political office, is managing the government's welfare programmes. She has refused to turn over a list of the identity cards of beneficiaries to auditors and legislators.
Mr Colom, his wife and the others named by Mr Rosenberg have all angrily denied his claims. After at first questioning the video's authenticity, Mr Colom then suggested that it was part of a right-wing plot to destabilise his government. (The journalist who recorded the video, Mario David Garcia, is a conservative commentator who in the 1980s expressed sympathy for an attempted coup.)

The first couple have tried to turn the case into a political battle along class lines. They ordered mayors to mobilise supporters for a large pro-government demonstration outside the presidential palace in Guatemala City on May 17th. Although this was organised with public money, it was outnumbered by a rival protest demanding justice in the Rosenberg case. 'They're well-groomed, with new shirts and shiny shoes, when there are more than a million malnourished children nobody worries about,' Ms Torres said of the protesters. She seems to model herself on Eva Peron, Argentina's populist heroinesome think she wants to succeed her husband as president, following the example of Argentina's Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.
The investigation of Mr Rosenberg's murder will determine the Coloms' political future. The president raised suspicions when he held a meeting with the supposedly independent attorney-general the day after the video was released. But he then asked the UN and the United States' FBI to join the investigation. In 2007, with the previous government's support, the UN set up a special commission charged with combating legal impunity in Guatemala. It now has its most important case. Whether or not Mr Rosenberg's killers are brought to justice will show whether or not Guatemala is indeed a failed state.
