Brazil invalidates key evidence against Toledo over Odebrecht bribes
Brazil's Supreme Court ordered the annulment of evidence sent to Peruvian justice as part of the bribery case involving construction firm Odebrecht and former president Alejandro Toledo, according to Google News PE — Crime.
The Brazilian judicial decision represents a significant blow to the proceedings being conducted in Peru against Toledo, who was extradited from the United States to face charges related to the corruption scandal involving the Brazilian company.
Odebrecht, now known as Novonor, is at the centre of one of the largest corruption cases in Latin America, with documented illicit payments to officials in several countries in the region in exchange for public works contracts.
The annulment ordered by the Brazilian Supreme Court could affect the validity of evidentiary material available to Peruvian prosecutors pursuing the case against the former president.
