Vice presidential elections were held in Guatemala on 14 May 2015. Baldetti resigned from her post as vice president on May 8, 2015, after a U.N. anti-corruption investigation arrested 24 individuals, including her personal secretary Juan Carlos Monzón Rojas, for involvement in an import bribery scheme known as La Línea (the Line) in which officials received bribes to reduce duties paid by importers.[1] Baldetti was detained on fraud charges on August 21, 2015, while at the hospital.[2][3][4] Reportedly, wiretaps of those implicated in the scandals appears to refer to her involvement with references to "the R", "the No.2" and "the lady." Her arrest was followed by allegations by prosecutor Thelma Aldana against President Molina, and protests calling for his resignation.[5]
