The former president of Peru Ollanta Humala and his wife have been arrested in Peru with the suspicion of money laundering and corruption. They will be detained for one and a half year until the end of the investigation. The prosecution demanded this because, as explained by the Prosecutor, the former president could have fled the country. Humala is accused of taking millions of dollars from Venezuelan and Brazilian companies, which he has spent on his electoral campaign. Note that two days ago the former president of Brazil Lula da Silva was sentenced to nine and a half years in prison with the same accusation.
