FLASH - Guy Philippe sentenced to nine years in U.S. prison

Philippe who is now 49 years old will be free when he becomes 58 years old. He will have plenty of time to continue with his political dream.

As you may remember, Guy pleaded guilty two months ago to drug related money laundering. That decision allowed him to avoid going to trial for drug trafficking which would likely put him to prison for life

Earlier, attorneys for Guy Philippe's claim immunity as a senator-elect in Haiti. However, this was dismissed by the judge.

Guy Philippe was arrested in January. He later admitted to accepting between $1.5 million and $3.5 million in cocaine profits from Colombian traffickers for letting the traffickers to Haiti to reach the United States between 1999 and 2003
