 This case really centred around accusations that he accepted bribes including gold bars, cash, even a Mercedes-Benz in exchange for helping foreign governments. Now his defence had really centred around his argument that these weren't bribes, they were just gifts and that no specific action was taken as a result of receiving them but the prosecution have said that he was guilty. Now he has spoken since the verdict came through saying that he's deeply disappointed and suggesting that he is likely to appeal this as well.
