Peru Court Moves to Expand U.S. Extradition of Ex-President Toledo in Interoceánica Tramo 4 Case

The judge ruled the prosecution’s petition meets treaty requirements for seeking authorization to try him on new charges.

Overview

  • Judge Richard Concepción Carhuancho admitted the Special Prosecutor’s request and sent the case file to the Supreme Court’s Permanent Criminal Chamber.
  • Prosecutors seek to charge Toledo with collusion and aggravated money laundering tied to the Tramo 4 concession involving Camargo y Correa, requesting a 24-year, 8-month sentence.
  • The ruling says the petition satisfies formal and material extradition criteria, including detailed facts, legal classification, double incrimination, and no political-crime bar.
  • Cited evidence includes seized emails from a Camargo y Correa executive, testimony from collaborators such as Josef Maiman and Jorge Barata, and cross‑border transfers exceeding $3.9 million through offshore entities.
  • Toledo remains in Barbadillo prison on two prior convictions as the Supreme Court prepares its opinion before the Executive submits the expansion request to U.S. authorities, a process estimated at three to six months.
