Peruvian court orders arrest of ex-president Toledo over bribery charges
president Alejandro Toledo
Lima - ArabToday
A Peruvian court on Thursday ordered a pre-trial detention of former president Alejandro Toledo for a period of 18 months for alleged money laundering and influence peddling.
Judge Richard Concepcion Carhuancho adopted the historic decision that places the former president, who is allegedly abroad, in a difficult situation.
According to the magistrate, the arrest warrant will be issued nationally and internationally through the Interpol office, and the term of confinement would begin from the moment Toledo is detained.
Toledo, president of Peru from 2001 to 2006, is suspected of receiving 20 million U.S. dollars in bribes in exchange for the contract of the Interoceanic highway linking Peru with Brazil awarded to Odebrecht and other Brazilian construction firms.
