Former Odebrecht representative: Peru's Ex-President Toledo received US$31 million bribe
18:02
| Curitiba (Brazil), Apr. 24.
Ex-Odebrecht Superintendent in Peru Jorge Barata on Wednesday affirmed the Brazilian construction company had delivered a US$$31 million bribe to
former President Alejandro Toledo
(2001-2006),
IDL-Reporteros
has revealed.
According to the investigative journalism site, he said that
Odebrecht
had paid US$27 million in
bribes to the former President
over the South Interoceanic Highway Project and that disbursements were made on several occasions until 2010.
The former Head of State received the US$27 million through his ex-friend
Israeli-Peruvian citizen Josef Maiman
, who is
investigated and prosecuted —along with Toledo— for the alleged crime of money laundering by allegedly having helped him hide Odebrecht's bribes
.
Barata also reported other US$4 million was given to the former top official. Within this framework,
the ex-Odebrecht officer committed to handing over the documents
, which support the illegal payments worth that amount.
The documents supporting the recently-revealed bribes paid to Alejandro Toledo (US$ 4 million) are part of the
4,000 page-package emerged from the Brazilian company's Division of Structured Operations
to be delivered to the authorities.
Remarks were made on the second day of
interrogations taking place in Brazil thru April 26
.
As is known,
Toledo —who resides in the United States— faces an extradition request
by the Peruvian State.
The justice system ordered 18-month preventive detention for him —in February 2017— after having allegedly received bribes from Odebrecht during his time in office
.
Collaboration agreement
In mid-February,
Peru's Lava Jato Case Special Prosecution Group signed the long-awaited collaboration agreement with Odebrecht representatives
and former employees in Brazil.
This deal is intended to procure evidence and testimonies
for the investigation of corruption cases in the Andean nation
.
As is known, the Brazilian construction giant admitted to having paid millions in bribes to government officials in Peru, in order to secure public-works contracts.
As a result,
Odebrecht
benefited from over US$143 million between 2005 and 2014 in Peru, according to the U.S. Justice Department.
In addition, four ex-Presidents have been linked to the Brazilian company such
as:
Alejandro Toledo (2001-2006)
,
Alan Garcia (2006-2011)
,
Ollanta Humala (2011-2016)
, and
Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (2016-2018)
.
Former presidential
candidate Keiko Fujimori —currently under preventive detention—
also allegedly received money from Odebrecht for her 2011 campaign.
Odebrecht will pay S/610 million (around US$182 million) —plus interests that may arise— in civil reparations to the Peruvian State
over a period of 15 years as part of this agreement.
