DR Congo's Bemba found guilty at ICC of witness bribing
Former Congolese Vice-President Jean-Pierre Bemba has been found guilty by the International Criminal Court (ICC) of bribing witnesses.
Bemba was found guilty earlier this year of war crimes and crimes against humanity and jailed for 18 years.
Following the case, he and four close aides were accused of corruptly influencing witnesses and falsifying evidence.
It is the first such corruption trial in the history of the ICC in The Hague.
