• His wife, Nadine Heredia, was also sentenced to 15 years for her role in receiving and misusing illegal campaign funds.
• The couple was found guilty of accepting $3 million in illicit campaign financing from Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht and misappropriating $200,000 from Venezuelan sources in 2006.
