What the case is about
EFCC prosecution for laundering and diversion of Bayelsa State funds following his 2005 London arrest and impeachment.
Ruling & compliance
Alamieyeseigha pleaded guilty to six counts and received concurrent two-year sentences; crediting time served since 2005, he was released the following day. The outcome, and the 2013 presidential pardon that followed, were widely criticised as lenient.
