Conviction Quashed: Peru's Ex-President Humala Freed from 15-Year Money Laundering Sentence

Former Peruvian President Ollanta Humala has been released from custody following a major legal victory that successfully overturned his criminal conviction.

Just last year, Humala and his wife were found guilty of money laundering charges, which resulted in hefty 15-year prison sentences for the couple. The sudden reversal of that ruling has now cleared the path for the former leader to walk free, marking a dramatic turning point in a high-profile case that has gripped the South American nation.
