Mexico's Supreme Court has ruled that the former president of Guatemala, Alfonso Portillo, can be extradited to his home country to face fraud charges.
Mr Portillo, in office from 2000 to 2004, is wanted over the disappearance of $15.7m (£7.9m) earmarked for the defence ministry.
Mexico authorised his extradition in 2006, but Mr Portillo's defence team challenged the move in several courts.
Mr Portillo denies any wrongdoing and his lawyers say their fight will go on.
This story is significant because a man is being accused for the stealing of a large sum of money. This former president is in a very bad position because Mexico is trying very hard to find him guilty.
