Here are some other countries that condemned their former leaders and what happened to them:

Argentina

Former president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who led the country from 2007 to 2015, was condemned to six years in prison and banned from holding public office in 2022, after being convicted in a billion-dollar fraud case. Fernandez de Kirchner, who said he would appeal the verdict, continued to serve as vice president until the end of his term last December.

Brazil

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the current president of Brazil who previously led the country from 2003 to 2010, was arrested in 2018 for corruption. However, he had his charges overturned in 2021, allowing him to run for president in 2022.

Croatia

Ivo Sanader, who was Prime Minister between 2003 and 2009, has been in prison since 2011, having been extradited after fleeing the country and condemned to prison on a series of convictions, including for corruption and war profiteering.

Egypt

Together with his two sons, former dictator Hosni Mubarak was condemned to three years in prison in 2015 for embezzlement of state funds. Mubarak, who was ousted during the Arab Spring in 2011, was also convicted of inciting the murder of protesters – although he was acquitted of that crime and released in 2017. He died in 2020.

France

Jacques Chirac, who was president from 1995 to 2007, was delivered a suspended sentence of two years in prison in 2022, after being convicted of corruption. He died in 2019.

Nicolas Sarkozy, who succeeded Chirac as President between 2007 and 2012, was found guilty of bribing a judge with a job to access confidential information involving another trial. He was sentenced to three years in prison in 2021 – two years suspended and one served under house arrest – which was sustained despite Sarkozy’s appeal. In February, Sarkozy also lost the appeal against a six-month prison sentence for excessive spending on his 2012 re-election campaign and illegal charges to his party.

Georgia

Former President Mikheil Saakashvili is currently serving a six-year prison sentence after being arrested in 2021. He had been sentenced in absentia in Power abuseincluding for ordering riot police to beat an opposition member of parliament in 2005 and for pardoning four officials who killed a man.

Israel

Former Israeli President Moshe Katsav, who served from 2000 to 2007, was sentenced in 2011 to seven years in prison for raping an aide while he was a minister in the 1990s and for sexually harassing two women while he was president. He served five years before being released in 2016 on parole.

Ehud Olmert, who was prime minister from 2006 to 2009, was condemned to 27 months in prison in 2016 for fraud. He was released in 2017 after serving part of his sentence.

(Israel’s current prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was indicted in 2019 on a range of charges, including fraud, bribery and breach of trust, and his trial continues amid the country’s war in Gaza.)

Italy

Four-time Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who died last year aged 86, was accused in more than 30 criminal cases, although he had only one lasting conviction. He was found guilty in 2013 of paying for sex with a minor, but his conviction was overturned in 2014. He was also acquitted of tax evasion, bribing judges and corruption – although in some cases the acquittals came after his government changed the law, as if his initial accusations no longer constituted a crime. In other cases, he was convicted, but managed to escape serving the sentence because the statute of limitations has expired.

In the only punishment he was unable to escape, he was sentenced to one year of community service – thanks to the lenient sentences applied in Italy to the elderly – in 2014, for tax fraud related to his media company.

Malaysia

Former prime minister Najib Razak, who led the country between 2009 and 2018, was found guilty of corruption in the multibillion-dollar 1MDB scandal and sentenced to 12 years in prison – although his sentence was later halved. He has been imprisoned since 2022 and remains on trial on other charges related to 1MDB, the state development fund that was used to funnel more than $4 billion into accounts linked to Najib.

She is serving a combined sentence of 27 years in prison on the charges, and was transferred to house arrest in April amid a heat wave and concerns about her health.

South Africa

South Korea

Lee Myung-bak, president of South Korea from 2008 to 2013, was sentenced to 17 years in prison in 2020 for bribery and embezzlement. However, he had his prison sentence shortened after receiving a forgiveness in 2022 by current president Yoon Suk-yeol.

Park Geun-hye, who took office as president in 2013 but was impeached in 2017 amid a historic corruption scandal, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for bribery and coercion. She was similarly pardoned in 2021.

Sudan

In 2019, former president Omar Hassan al-Bashir was condemned to two years in a social reform center – a treatment reserved for elderly offenders like Bashir, then 75 – after being convicted of corruption. He also faces an ongoing trial related to the 1989 coup that brought him to power – which he has publicly assumed responsibility for — for which he might, if found guilty, receive the sentence of death.

Taiwan

Former President Chen Shui-bian, whose term ran from 2000 to 2008, was sentenced to life in prison in 2009 for embezzlement, money laundering and bribery, but later had his sentence reduced to 20 years on appeal. He was released on medical parole in 2015.

Thailand

Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who led Thailand from 2001 to 2006 and fled after being deposed in a military coup, was convicted in absentia of abuse of power. He was arrested upon returning from self-exile last August, but was released paroled in February.

Her sister Yingluck, who served as prime minister from 2011 until she was similarly ousted and went into exile in 2014, was condemned to five years in prison in 2017 for criminal negligence – the court found that she had mismanaged a rice subsidy scheme that resulted in billions of dollars in losses. However, while still living abroad to avoid arrest, she was clean in March.
