Ex-Guatemalan president to stand trial for corruption

Former Guatemalan president Otto Perez was ordered Friday to stand trial on corruption charges.

Perez is charged with racketeering, illicit enrichment and fraud as leader of a multimillion dollar scheme involving the Central American country's customs duty system, said Judge Miguel Angel Galvez. 

Perez served from 2012 until he was forced to resign in 2015.
