Former Guatemalan Vice President Otto Pérez refuted corruption charges that led to his resignation, calling them unfounded and politically motivated.

The charges involve a customs fraud scheme with his ex-vice president Roxana Valdetti, who allegedly led a network accepting bribes for tax evasion. Both face additional corruption charges, including port contract anomalies and campaign fund laundering.
