Two former Guatemalan ministers have been arrested as part of a major investigation led by a United Nations-backed commission.
The two men, Manuel Lopez Ambrosio and Mauricio Lopez Bonilla, have been accused of using public funds to buy a helicopter that was given as a gift to former President Otto Perez Molina.
He was arrested in September after standing down amid widespread anti-corruption protests. Mr Perez Molina denies all the charges.
They are facing several charges, including money laundering and conspiracy.
