Brazil ex-President gets nearly 9 years in jail for corruption

Brazil's Supreme Court has sentenced former President Fernando Collor de Mello to eight years and 10 months in prison. Last week, the country's High Court had convicted the 73-year-old of taking $4 million in bribes from a subsidiary of state-owned oil company Petrobras while he was a senator from 2010 to 2014. Collor was Brazil's first democratically elected President.
