Abstract:

Former Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo, who served in that role from 2001 to 2006, has been extradited from the U.S. to Peru due to his alleged involvement in a corruption scandal relating to public works contracts for Brazilian conglomerate Odebrecht. Peruvian authorities allege that Toledo received millions of dollars in kickbacks from Odebrecht in exchange for awarding them a public works contract.
