California Judge Thomas Hickson has ordered former President Alejandro Toledo to turn himself in to authorities this Friday, April 7 at 9:00 am to begin his extradition process to Peru.
Hickson’s decision comes hours after the California Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the former president’s request to halt his repatriation to Peru.
“The present Court holds that Alexander Toledo delivered to the Marshalls on April 7 at 9:00 a.m. at 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco,” the court order, to which he had access, says. News RPP.
On February 21, the State Department granted Toledo’s extradition at the request of Peruvian justice for corruption offences. The former president is accused of accepting multimillion-dollar bribes from the Brazilian company Odebrecht in exchange for promoting its business in the country when he was still head of state.
The former president is under investigation for money laundering, conspiracy and influence peddling in connection with contracts awarded to Odebrecht to build an inter-ocean route between Brazil and Peru.
Toledo in the USA
The former president was arrested in 2019 in California, where he has been living for the past few years, and spent 8 months in jail for risking flight.although he was able to get out of prison when he was paid bail due to the pandemic.
In particular, the judge ordered that he be released on bail in March 2020 and immediately placed in his home in San Francisco Bay (a mandatory detention order was in effect at the time) using a GPS tracking system.
In the Peruvian part of the Odebrecht case, the biggest corruption scandal in Latin America, former presidents Alan Garcia (2006-2011), Ollanta Humala (2011-2016) and Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (2016-2018), as well as a three-time candidate President Keiko Fujimori.
Prosecutors now hope that Alejandro Toledo will be able to be in Peru this year to continue the oral proceedings against him.
