Peru's Ex-President Ollanta Humala Released After Conviction Overturned
Peru's former President Ollanta Humala was released from prison after the Constitutional Court overturned his 15-year money laundering conviction linked to the Odebrecht corruption scandal. Humala and his wife, Nadine Heredia, were convicted last year for allegedly receiving illegal campaign contributions. Humala denied the charges, calling the trial politically motivated. His wife remains in Brazil under asylum. The ruling led to a criminal court ordering his release, with government officials describing the decision as fair. The case is part of a broader investigation into corruption involving several Peruvian leaders.
