Former Peruvian President Ollanta Humala Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison for Corruption

Humala and his wife, Nadine Heredia, were convicted of laundering millions in illegal campaign funds tied to the Odebrecht scandal.

Ollanta Humala, who served as Peru's president from 2011 to 2016, received a 15-year prison sentence for money laundering and corruption.
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.
The verdict is part of a broader corruption investigation that has implicated four former Peruvian presidents, with Alejandro Toledo already convicted and others facing legal proceedings.
Humala's defense has announced plans to appeal the ruling, continuing the high-profile legal saga connected to Latin America's largest corruption scandal.
