Peru's attorney general's office said on Twitter that the U.S. State Department had agreed to extradite former Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo on corruption charges
Peruvian authorities allege that Toledo, who governed the Andean country between 2001 and 2006, took bribes of more than $25 million from Brazilian construction conglomerate Odebrecht in exchange for help securing public works contracts.
"We do not have a set deadline at the moment, but it is unlikely to take months," Alfredo Rebaza, the head of the attorney general's extradition office, said on the Canal N television station, adding that logistics would now be begin with Interpol and U.S. authorities. Toledo, who as of August 2022 resided in California, following his release from prison on bail in 2020, has denied soliciting or receiving bribes and has not been criminally charged in the United States.
