PARAMARIBO, Suriname (AP) - A judge in Suriname on Thursday convicted the son of a former dictator of leading a ring that trafficked in cocaine, illegal arms and stolen luxury cars, sentencing him to eight years in prison.
Dino Bouterse, the son of ex-dictator Desi Bouterse, plans to appeal the conviction, said his lawyer, Irwin Kanhai.
Prosecutors had sought a 16-year prison term for Bouterse, 32. Judge Albert Ramnewash gave six other convicted members of the ring, including a police officer, prison sentences ranging from 30 months to six years.
