Overview
- Justice José Antonio Dias Toffoli voided electronic evidence tied to Odebrecht’s internal systems in Heredia’s case.
- He prohibited the use of those elements in any judicial cooperation with Peruvian authorities and ordered formal notification to the ministry.
- The ruling extends to Heredia the same evidentiary relief previously granted to former president Ollanta Humala.
- By blocking these records in international cooperation, the decision could hinder any extradition or detention efforts while Heredia stays in Brazil.
- Heredia has been in Brasilia under diplomatic asylum since April and has not begun serving a 15-year money-laundering sentence imposed by a Peruvian court.
