Peru's Ex-President Ollanta Humala Released After 15-Year Money Laundering Conviction Overturned

Peru's former president Ollanta Humala has been released from jail after a court overturned his 15-year sentence for money laundering. Humala was convicted alongside his wife in 2025, with both receiving the same prison term. The court's ruling annulled the corruption conviction, leading to his release from detention. The case stemmed from allegations of money laundering, though the court's full reasoning has not yet been made public. Humala, who served as Peru's president, walked free after the decision, marking a significant reversal in the case. The conviction and sentencing had taken place in 2025, according to reports. His wife's current status was not specified in initial accounts, but the conviction against both was overturned. The release ends, at least for now, the imprisonment of a former head of state in a country that has seen several leaders face corruption charges in recent years. Peruvian authorities confirmed his release, and he has since left the detention facility. The legal proceedings against Humala had drawn wide attention, and the decision to overturn the sentence is expected to have political implications in Peru. Further details about the court's ruling are expected to emerge in the coming days.
