Manuel Noriega extradited to Panama to serve jail terms

Panama's ex-leader Manuel Noriega has been extradited back to his home country from France and taken straight to a prison.

His plane touched down in Panama City on Sunday evening after flying from Paris via Madrid.

He was convicted in absentia of crimes committed during his time in power in the 1980s.

The 77-year-old has already spent more than 20 years in prisons in France and the United States.

He had the right to appeal, but his lawyers said he wanted to return to Panama.    Read Here
