The court’s decision marks a sudden reversal for the case involving campaign contributions from Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht, now operating as Novonor. Prosecutors originally secured the conviction by arguing that funds funneled into Humala’s successful 2011 presidential bid violated national financial statutes.
Humala had been held alongside several other former heads of state at a designated facility reserved for high-profile political figures. By overturning the 15-year term, the Constitutional Court effectively clears the former leader of the charges that kept him behind bars since his sentencing last year.
