Gabon court sentences Sylvia and Noureddin Bongo to 20 years in prison

A Gabon courtroom on Wednesday sentenced former first girl Sylvia Bongo and her son, Noureddin Bongo, to twenty years in jail after a swift two-day corruption trial that discovered them responsible of embezzlement and different fees. The pair have been accused of exploiting ex-president Ali Bongo’s ailing well being to siphon off state funds throughout his 14-year rule.
