The court of appeal has issued an 8-year prison sentence for former President Rafael Correa for the alleged crime of bribery in the so-called “Caso Sobornos 2012-2016”. The sentence was also issued for all the accused, APA reports citing Sputnik.

"Although hard to believe, it was to be expected. There can be no more ridiculous ‘case’ and ‘sentence’. They are not going to defeat us, but all the innocent people who are suffering from trying to hurt me", the former president said on Twitter, commenting on the court’s decision.
