Lima, November 26 (Xinhua) — Former Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra was sentenced on Wednesday to 14 years in prison for accepting bribes, local media reported.
M. Vizcarra attended a hearing at the Fourth National Collegial Criminal Court, where the judge read him the sentence for bribery during his time as governor of the Moquegua department.
The cases concerned two construction projects – an irrigation system in Lomas de Ilo and a hospital in Moquegua – for which prison sentences of six and eight years, respectively, were handed down.
According to the judge, M. Vizcarra received approximately 2.3 million soles (approximately 690 thousand US dollars) in illegal contributions from the companies Obrainsa and Contratistas Generales through commissions and staged payments.
In addition, M. Vizcarra was banned from holding public office for nine years and ordered to pay 94,900 soles in civil damages.
After the verdict, M. Vizcarra wrote on social media that he was the victim of "revenge" for opposing a mafia conspiracy. –0–
