The United States has granted the extradition of Peruvian former President Alejandro Toledo over corruption allegations, Peru’s attorney general office has said, adding that the country’s justice system has been coordinating with national and foreign authorities for the execution of the order.
“We have been informed that the US State Department granted the extradition of Alejandro Toledo Manríque for the crimes of collusion and money laundering,” read a tweet from the public prosecutor published on Wednesday.
Peru requested the extradition of Toledo – who served as the country’s president from 2001 to 2006 – in 2018 on charges he took millions of dollars in bribes from Odebrecht, a Brazilian construction company involved in an extensive corruption case across South America.
