Ex-Peruvian President Toledo deported from the U.S. to Face Corruption Charges.

Recently, the former Peruvian president Alejandro Toledo, who served from 2001 to 2006, arrived back in Peru after exhausting all legal avenues in the U.S. to avoid extradition. Peru is a country with a recent history of corrupt presidents; there have been no less than four former presidents that have faced serious allegations of misconduct. According to The Guardian, Toledo allegedly accepted $35 million from the notorious Brazilian construction company Odebrecht to win a construction contract to build a highway connecting Brazil and Peru. Odebrecht was involved in a massive corruption scandal in Brazil called Operation Car Wash that involved many Brazilian politicians and public figures taking bribes. Toledo will likely join Alberto Fujimori, Pablo Kuczynski, and Pedro Castillo in jail on corruption charges.
