will be made public on October 21, after hearing the defendants' arguments, thus concluding the trial.
The verdict will be read on Monday at 2:00 p.m. (local time), the Judicial Branch announced on the X platform.
During the hearing, Toledo gave his final words prior to the announcement of the verdict.
"From the bottom of my heart, I still do not understand why I am involved in this," the former president said in his opening remarks.
"I ask you to please do justice (…) I want to tell you that I am innocent; I never made any arrangement with (Odebrecht's former representative in Peru, Jorge) Barata or with Mr. Josef Maiman (…) Whatever decision you (judges) will make, I have a complicated health condition," Toledo added.
"I have cancer, heart problems, and will turn 80 in a few months. If this is going to continue, the only thing I ask, is please let me defend myself from home (...) Please, let me recover or die at home," he concluded.
