Ricardo Martinelli
Former Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli was sentenced today to more than 10 years in prison for money laundering.
Mr. Martinelli has been trying to mount a political comeback in next year's general elections, but a judge sentenced him to 128 months in prison in a case that revolved around the purchase of a media company.
The judge also fined him $19 million.
The business mogul who governed Panama from 2009 to 2014 was elected by his party last month as its presidential candidate for the May 5 election.
