Peru's ex-president Humala released after conviction overturned

Peru's former President Ollanta Humala was released from prison after the Constitutional Court overturned his 15-year sentence for money laundering. The ruling, dated July 15 and published Thursday, declared the proceedings against him null and void, citing that his conduct was not legally defined as money laundering when the contributions were received. Humala and his wife, Nadine Heredia, were convicted in a case linked to the Odebrecht corruption scandal.
