Read story here....
A police officer has been sentenced to six years in jail after he taped an alleged thief to a cross with a sign stuck to his belly saying: 'You shall not steal.'
Victor Robledo, 27, was discovered in May 2014 after an anonymous phone call to local police in the city of San Francisco in the northern Argentine province of Cordoba.
He was taped up to a makeshift wooden cross at the side of the road and his head was also covered in masking tape with a hole for him to breathe through.
Police found the man with minor injuries and with symptoms of hyperthermia.
After an investigation into the matter, police chief Carlos Alberto Flores was identified as the culprit. He has been charged with 'abuse of power aggravated by the use of a firearm, deprivation of liberty, and unlawful coercion.'
Flores will now complete at least three years of a six-year prison sentence, after which he could be released on probation.
Robledo has a criminal record for theft and had been detained by the superior officer for 'verification of past offences.'
Angry: Robledo survived because holes were left in the tape so he could breathe
