Former Odebrecht representative in Peru Jorge Barata on Tuesday confirmed that Odebrecht had made contributions to the APRA
2006 presidential campaign.
Likewise, Barata might have informed the donation —worth US$200,000— was requested by APRA member Luis Alva Castro.
During the interrogatory, the former Odebrecht representative might have also confirmed that Alva Castro used the alias "Laque," who was given US$60,000.
On the other hand, Box Two documents indicated US$40,000 was delivered to APRA.
Furthermore, he reaffirmed contributions were made to
ex-Lima Mayor Susana Villaran (2011-2014) for her anti-recall campaign and to Lourdes Flores Nano's campaign.
