"The chamber imposes on you an additional 12 months, one year imprisonment," presiding judge Bertram Schmitt told Bemba. He added it must be served consecutively to an 18-year-term Bemba is already serving after being convicted of commanding war crimes by his marauding troops in the Central African Republic in 2002 to 2003.
