ROME – Guilty. This was decided by the court in Wilmington, Delaware, United States. Hunter Biden, 54-year-old son of President Joe, indicted on three counts, was convicted of violating laws that prohibit citizens who have an addiction to illegal drugs from possessing firearms.
In 2018, the man purchased a Colt revolver, without declaring that he was a drug addict. He risks up to 25 years in prison and a fine of 750 thousand dollars. However, having a clean criminal record, he is unlikely to see the detention carried out. However, it is the first time that the son of a sitting president has been convicted.
Away from the courtroom, Biden senior – who recently declared that he did not want to pardon his son – met and hugged him, as can be seen in the images published by the Associated Press. “I’m a president, but I’m also a father. Jill and I love our son and are proud of the man he has become today,” President Biden later declared. And he added:“I will continue to respect the judicial process while my son Hunter considers the appeal.”
