But he is expected to leave Thomson Penitentiary in Illinois on November 9 of this year, when he completes his sentence for the crime of money laundering.
According to the latest report from the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the former PRI member would leave prison in December 2025.
But, the sentence was updated after an appeal by his defense and after reaching a plea agreement on money laundering charges in the US. He was sentenced to 91 months in prison.
