Former Peruvian President Ollanta Humala was released from prison on Friday evening after Peru's Constitutional Court overturned his 15-year money laundering conviction.
Humala, who was serving his sentence at a special detention facility that houses several of Peru's jailed former leaders, had been convicted last year over receiving illicit campaign contributions from Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht, now known as Novonor, during his successful 2011 presidential campaign.
