Guatemala: Top bribery suspect points finger at former president
Oct Wednesday 7th 2015
THE alleged mastermind of Guatemala’s customs bribery scandal claimed yesterday that the country’s former president and vice-president were behind the scheme.
Juan Carlos Monzon Rojas, former personal secretary to disgraced vice-president Roxana Baldetti, turned himself in on Sunday after months on the run.
At his initial hearing on Monday, Mr Monzon alleged that he had only been following orders from Ms Baldetti and then president Otto Perez Molina.
He said any member of the governing Patriot Party’s cabinet “could affirm that you didn’t do anything without the knowledge and approval of either of the two, Otto Perez or Roxana Baldetti.”
