Guatemala's Ex-president Extradited To US For Embezzlement by tzetzefly(m): 6:34am On May 25, 2013 |
Alfonso Portillo who was president from 2000 to 2004, had been fighting extradition since it was approved by then president Alvaro Colom in 2011. Portillo was indicted by a US grand jury on charges of embezzling tens of millions of dollars of public funds and laundering the money through US and European banks, including $1.5m intended for Guatemalan school children. Guatemala has extradited ex-president Alfonso Portillo to the United States to face charges of laundering $70m. Alfonso Portillo describes extradition to the US, where he will face money-laundering charges, as a "kidnapping". https://.nytimes.com/2013/05/25/world/americas/ex-president-portillo-of-guatemala-is-extradited-to-us.html
