Fujimori evaluates pardon for Toledo after conviction by Odebrecht
The short version
The president of Peru, Keiko Fujimori, is considering granting a pardon to Alejandro Toledo, convicted in 2024 for receiving bribes from Odebrecht. Toledo, 81, is serving time in prison for this case.
Keiko Fujimori, president of Peru, announced that she will evaluate a pardon for Alejandro Toledo with two approaches: a technical-medical one and a humanitarian one.3 Alejandro Toledo, former Peruvian president, was sentenced in 2024 to prison for receiving money from Odebrecht in exchange for awarding the construction of a section of the Southern Interoceanic Highway.3 Toledo, 81, is serving his sentence in Barbadillo prison, an exclusive prison for high-profile inmates in Peru.2
Toledo turned to Fujimori, daughter of his former political rival Alberto Fujimori, to request his release.2 Toledo led the opposition against the regime of Alberto Fujimori in the 1990s and denounced electoral fraud in 2000.2 The March of the Four Yours, promoted by Toledo, became a symbol of the end of Fujimorism in Peru.2
Fujimori stated that he will not live in the Government Palace of Lima and will remain in his personal home with his daughters.1 Fujimori said that most of the last Peruvian leaders have chosen to reside in their homes instead of the Government Palace.1
“This will be evaluated with two types of analysis: a technical and medical one, and also with a humanitarian look”
