Corruption's Web Unravels: Ollanta Humala's Release and Peru's Ongoing Struggle The recent release of former Peruvian President Ollanta Humala from prison has sparked a range of reactions, from relief among his supporters to outrage from those who see it as a betrayal of justice.
The decision by the Constitutional Court to overturn his 15 year sentence for money laundering is one thread in the intricate web of corruption that has ensnared Peru's political elite.
Humala's case is linked to the Odebrecht scandal, a massive corruption scheme that spanned multiple countries and implicated some of Latin America's most prominent leaders.
