Peru court sentences ex-president Humala to 15 years for graft
Cape Times
|April 17, 2025
A PERUVIAN court this week sentenced ex-president Ollanta Humala and his wife to 15 years in prison for graft linked to a globe-spanning corruption scandal involving Brazilian construction group Odebrecht paying bribes to politicians.
-
The court found the 62-year-old and his wife Nadine Heredia guilty of money laundering for receiving illegal contributions from Odebrecht and the Venezuelan government in two presidential campaigns.
Humala was taken into custody in the courtroom right after the verdict was read out and later jailed at a police base.
His lawyers said they will file an appeal against his conviction.
Judge Nayko Coronado also ordered the arrest of Heredia, who did not attend the sentencing hearing and sought asylum at the Brazilian embassy in Lima.
Peru's foreign ministry later said that after talks with Brazil she was granted safe passage to travel there with her son.
