    Peruvian Court Annuls Ollanta Humala's Money Laundering Conviction

    The Constitutional Court of Peru annulled the entire criminal process against former President Ollanta Humala for money laundering, eliminating his 15-year prison sentence. The ruling, adopted by five votes to two, declared null and void the investigations, subsequent judicial resolutions, and the sentence that convicted Humala. The TC ordered his immediate release from Barbadillo prison, where he had been detained for fifteen months. The majority of the magistrates concluded that the process violated the principles of legality and criminal typification, as the conduct described was not expressly contemplated as a crime when the facts occurred. Humala's lawyer expressed satisfaction with the ruling and confirmed that they would immediately manage his release.

    Yemen's Houthis Deny Plans to Impose Fees on Ships in Red Sea

    Yemen's Houthi rebels have consistently denied reports that they plan to impose fees on commercial ships passing through the Bab al-Mandeb strait in the Red Sea. The group's maritime coordination body has stated that no such decision has been taken and that passage through the strategic waterway remains free. These denials come after Reuters reported that the Houthis were considering charging fees for ships navigating through the southern Red Sea, following their declaration of a maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia. The Houthis have also clarified that their 'safe passage service' is voluntary and free of charge.
