Magnus Malan vs Otto Perez Molina

Malan was appointed Chief of the South African Defence Force (SADF). He oversaw the military's expansion and its involvement in the Border War in Angola and Namibia, as well as operations to destabilize neighboring countries.

Malan was appointed Minister of Defence in P.W. Botha's government. He oversaw the SADF's operations, including cross-border raids into neighboring countries, and the implementation of the 'total strategy' to counter the anti-apartheid movement.

Under Malan's leadership, the SADF conducted cross-border raids into Angola, Mozambique, and Lesotho, targeting ANC bases and infrastructure. These operations aimed to disrupt the armed struggle but also caused civilian casualties and regional instability.

Malan was involved in the negotiation of the Nkomati Accord, a non-aggression pact between South Africa and Mozambique. The accord required both sides to stop supporting each other's armed opponents, but South Africa later violated it.

Malan was charged with murder and conspiracy in connection with the 1987 killing of 13 people, including women and children, in KwaMakhutha. He was acquitted in 1996, but the trial highlighted the SADF's involvement in human rights abuses.

Otto Pérez Molina won the 2011 Guatemalan presidential election as candidate of the Patriotic Party. A retired general, he campaigned on a tough-on-crime platform and took office in 2012.

Pérez Molina resigned the presidency after massive protests and a UN-backed anti-corruption investigation revealed a customs fraud scheme known as 'La Línea'. He was arrested and imprisoned pending trial, becoming the first Guatemalan president to resign due to corruption.

Pérez Molina was convicted of illicit association and customs fraud in connection with the 'La Línea' scandal. He was sentenced to 16 years in prison, marking a significant anti-corruption victory in Guatemala.
