Portillo won the 1999 presidential election as the candidate of the Guatemalan Republican Front (FRG), a party founded by former dictator Efrain Rios Montt.

Portillo's administration was marked by widespread corruption, including the embezzlement of millions from the defense and education budgets. He fled Guatemala after his term ended.

Portillo was extradited from Guatemala to the United States on charges of laundering $70 million in bribes from Taiwan. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to prison.
