The Supreme Federal Court's First Panel unanimously sentenced Domingos Inácio Brazão and his brother João Francisco Brazão to 76 years and three months each for masterminding the double homicide of Franco and her driver Anderson Gomes, the attempted murder of her aide, and leading a militia-linked criminal group.

Omo Ologo posted on Thursday urging Nigerians to finance inverters through CrediCorp loans, pointing to private power in his Canadian province as a model.

The Islamabad High Court on Tuesday restored pre-arrest bail for the couple in a PECA case over alleged inflammatory social media posts, overturning a lower court's cancellation for their failure to appear for cross-examination.
