Montesinos sentenced to 20 years

12:36 H | Topics: Controversia - Peru - Politics

montesinos-peru_not.jpgEx Fujimori aide and Laura Bozzo's ex-boyfriend, Vladimiro Montesinos, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for allegedly selling arms to Colombia's FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia), according to Spain's 20 Minutos:

This sentence, which follows 12 other sentences since Montesinos was detained in Venezuela in June of 2001, is the longest and is the one that he must serve out, since in Peru sentences are not culmulative.
Apparently, Montesinos procured the arms from Jordan, and sold them to the FARC, "committing crimes of violation of a foreign state's sovereignty, political conspiracy, and illegal supplying of arms to subversive groups."

Meanwhile, Montesinos's ex main squeeze will gets 4 years of her own on a variety of charges.
