Guatemalan President's Downfall Linked to Corruption Scandal

  • 9 years ago
Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina, in office since 2012, has now resigned and faces arrest on corruption charges. The corruption scandal, known as The Line, involved companies paying bribes to avoid customs duties, with the funds transferred to private bank accounts of high-level officials. A mass protest movement ultimately forced Perez Molina from office although many Guatemalans question whether justice will, in the end, be done. teleSUR
