SAN FRANCISCO — A U.S. federal court on Wednesday denied an appeal by former Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo Manrique to stop his extradition to his native country to face charges he accepted millions of dollars in bribes as part of a mammoth corruption scandal involving officials across Latin America.
Toledo, 77, had filed for a stay on his extradition pending a legal challenge to the U.S. State Department’s decision to send him back to Peru, where he is accused of taking $20 million in bribes from Odebrecht, a giant Brazilian construction company that has admitted to U.S. authorities that it bribed officials to win contracts throughout the region.
U.S. officials said the U.S. Marshals Service would move to turn Toledo, who was Peru’s president in 2001-2006, over to Peruvian authorities. It was not clear when that might happen. The Odebrecht corruption scandal has shaken Peru’s politics, with nearly every living former president now on trial or under investigation.Former President Ollanta Humala is standing trial on charges that he and his wife received over $3 million from Odebrecht for his presidential campaigns in 2006 and 2011. Both have denied any wrongdoing.
