Former Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo was extradited from the U.S. on Sunday, and is now set to become the third former leader of the Andean nation to be currently incarcerated.
After turning himself in to U.S. authorities Friday, Toledo arrived in Peru around 7 a.m. Lima time Sunday, La Republica reported.
Peruvian prosecutors accuse Toledo of negotiating $35 million in bribes from Brazilian builder Odebrecht SA in exchange for a contract to build a highway. Toledo, who governed between 2001 and 2006, denies the allegations and fought his extradition for years, including with several appeals.
