Manuel Antonio Noriega Moreno[2] (born 11 February 1938) is a Panamainian politician and soldier.
Noriega went to high school and had a career in the army. He was the de facto ruler of Panama between 12 August 1988 and 20 December 1989.[3] In 1992, an United States court convicted him of drug trafficking, racketeering, and money laundering. Noriega served a prison sentence in the US, which ended in 2007.[4] He was then extradited to France, where he served another sentence.
A conditional release was given to him on September 23, 2011. Noriega was sent to Panama to serve 20 years. He arrived in Panama on December 11, 2011.[5]
