Judges have ruled that BEMBA and his aides bribed at least  fourteen witnesses, coaching them in what to say and how to behave in court.

BEMBA has already been convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by his militia in the Central African Republic and sentenced to eighteen years in jail.

This separate case is the first such corruption trial in the history of the ICC.
