Former Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo has returned to Peru from the United States to face charges of money laundering and corruption during his mandate.
The 77-year-old, who served as Peru’s president from 2001 to 2006, is wanted by Peruvian prosecutors investigating a sprawling scandal involving Brazilian construction conglomerate Odebrecht.
He is accused of having received millions of dollars from Odebrecht in return for public works contracts.
Official images shared by Peruvian authorities showed Toledo arriving at Lima airport on Sunday. Toledo turned himself in on Friday for extradition.
