La Linea corruption case
''La Línea'' corruption case ("''La Línea''" meaning the "telephone line" used by the corruption ring) began in Guatemala on April 16, 2015, when the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala ((スペイン語:Comisión Internacional Contra la Impunidad en Guatemala, CICIG)) and the State procesecutors accused a number of politicians within the Administration of President Otto Pérez Molina of having set up a customs corruption ring with the help of high-ranking officials within the tax and customs administration. Several demonstrations ensued, calling for the resignation of Otto Pérez Molina and his Vice-President, Roxana Baldetti. Among the accused were retired captain Juan Carlos Monzón (then Vice president Roxanna Baldetti's private secretary) and the directors of the Tax Administration Superintendency (Spanish: Superintendencia de Administración Tributaria, SAT), entity analogous to the United States Internal Revenue Service. The situation became very difficult for Pérez Molina's regime, when his then vicepresident Roxana Baldetti quit in early May to the joy of thousands of demonstrators.
On 20 May 2015, CICIG and the Guatemalan Chief Prosecutor, Thelma Aldana, released another high scale corruption scandal, when they presented the Guatemalan Social Security Institute (Spanish: Instituto Guatemalteco de Seguridad Social) -IGSS- case in which the board of directors had complotted to assign a renal facility service to an external company that did not comply with the minimal requirements and caused the death of numerous patients. Investigations from both entities showed that the contact had been granted by heavy bribes to some of the board members, specially IGSS President Juan de Dios Rodríguez, former Pérez Molina private secretary. All the board members were sent to prison. And a few weeks later, yet another corruption scandal broke up when another former Perez Molina's private secretary was sent to jail accused of being involved in a high stakes case with energy company Jaguar Energy.
On 21 August 2015, prosecutors and CICIG asked for former vicepresident Roxana Baldetti capture and asked to start the impeachment process for president Otto Pérez Molina for their involvement in "La Línea case".〔 In a press conference, CICIG chief, Colombian prosecutor Iván González, reported that during the procedures carried on 16 April 2015, they discovered that Juan Carlos Monzón was not La Linea mastermind, but both the president and the vicepresidente, themselves. Furthermore, CICIG even implied that they might have been involved with the customs ring even before they were inaugurated on 14 January 2012. Baldetti was sent to prison to the Women Preventative Detention Center, after she had spent a few days in the VIP jail in the Army's Matamoros Fort.
And then things came to a climatic level when, during Baldetti's legal hearing, in one of the intercepted phone conversations one could hear president's Perez Molina contacting the SAT director and asking for Human Resources changes to, allegedly, accommodate the smuggling network. A National Strike was called and finally, on September 1, Otto Pérez Molina was impeached and stripped of his immunity; he resigned on the 2nd and was put in custody on the 3rd.
