A judge in Guatemala has ordered that a former vice-president be held in prison over an allegedly fraudulent plan to clean up pollution at Lake Amatitlan.
Roxana Baldetti is accused of leading a scheme in which millions were spent on a product to decontaminate the lake. Testing revealed the product, which was never used, was mainly sea water.
Ms Baldetti also faces charges, along with ex-President Otto Perez Molina, over alleged corruption in a customs duties scheme.
