Alejandro Toledo, 77, is being prosecuted for corruption and money laundering in Peru. He is suspected of having received tens of millions of dollars from the Brazilian construction group Odebrecht.
Toledo was arrested in 2019 in the United States, where he resided after working at Stanford University. The extradition procedure is expected to take less than a week and Toledo faces up to 20 years in prison in Peruvian prison. The former head of state must remain "in an appropriate prison" until he is handed over to Peruvian authorities, according to San Francisco Judge Thomas Hixson.
