15:16 | Lima, Mar. 17.

The Public Ministry on Friday reported that a lawsuit has been filed for the real estate of former President Alejandro Toledo to be managed by the Peruvian State.

"The Asset Forfeiture Prosecutor's Office filed a lawsuit before the Judiciary to declare the (Peruvian) State as owner of the real estate of former President Alejandro Toledo and his family entourage," it reported via its official Twitter account.

As is known, the United States recently approved that the former President be extradited to Peru to face judicial proceedings for the crimes of collusion and money laundering —within the framework of the Odebrecht case.

Alejandro Toledo —who resides in the U.S.— is being investigated by the Peruvian justice for having allegedly received a bribe worth nearly US$32 million from the Brazilian Odebrecht company to favor it in the bidding for the Interoceanic Highway, while he was President of the Republic (2001-2006).
