The Former Vice-President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Jean-Pierre Bemba, is due to be sentenced by international judges for bribing witnesses during an earlier war crimes trial.
The International Criminal Court in The Hague acquitted the one-time rebel leader three months ago for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
But a second legal case has continued to disrupt his ambition to stand as a presidential candidate in DR Congo.
He’s been found guilty of bribery, corruption and of coaching 14 defence witnesses at his original trial.
He has already spent a decade behind bars during his trial and is unlikely to serve any more time.
