A Guatemalan court on Wednesday sentenced former President Otto Perez and his vice president Roxana Baldetti to 16 years in prison in a graft case years after explosive corruption revelations forced the two out of office early and into prison.
The pair were found guilty of illicit association and customs fraud, but were acquitted on a charge of illicit enrichment.
Perez, who was president of Guatemala from 2012 to 2015, has spent the last seven years in prison awaiting a verdict in the case. Baldetti was sentenced to more than 15 years in prison in 2018 in a separate fraud case.
