Iván Morales Pichillá

Iván Morales Pichillá is a Guatemalan lawyer and businessman who served as the legal representative for a mining company owned by Argentine aviation magnate Federico Machado. He was involved in a controversial mining project in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala, that was authorized by the Ministry of Energy and Mines, despite allegations surrounding Machado's connections to drug trafficking. Morales Pichillá's dealings with Machado and the mining project have drawn scrutiny due to the latter's recent extradition to the United States on charges related to drug trafficking and money laundering.
