Carlos Arthur Nuzman, former head of Brazil's Olympic committee and a key figure in bringing the 2016 Summer Games to Rio de Janeiro, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for his role in a bribery scheme to secure votes for his country to host the Games.
Per Tariq Panja of the New York Times, Nuzman was found guilty of corruption, criminal organization, money laundering and tax evasion.
The 79-year-old was originally arrested in 2017 when law enforcement officials discovered "about $155,000 in cash and a key to a vault in Switzerland in which 16 gold bars were discovered" during a raid on his house.
