Experts indicate that Alejandro Toledo would go to prison

For her part, Katherine Ampuero, former attorney in the Odebrecht case, indicated that the Prosecutor’s Office has enough evidence to issue a conviction against former president Alejandro Toledo, this Monday, October 21.
“I consider that it will be a conviction and effective sentence. The fundamental proof is in the banking financial evidence that Toledo’s former friend, Josef Maiman, has presented as part of his collaboration,” said Ampuero.
He also pointed out that the wines acquired in Peru and whose purchase money, Toledo Manrique could not support, would be evidence. Furthermore, the expertise that responds to the great asset imbalance of the former president would be another piece of evidence that incriminates him.
Alejandro Toledo’s health would not prevent him from going to prison
According to criminal lawyer Joel Córdova, the state of health or medical conditions that Toledo is going through can be alleged to have an effect on the fulfillment of his sentence. Along these lines, he specified that he will be able to serve his sentence with constant medical visits or with permanent medical care, so that he does not end up worsening his health.
“We must be very clear, The state of health of an accused, with respect to the sentence that is going to be imposed, has no direct impact. Its impact is focused on the execution of the sentence, that is, on the conditions in which the sentence will be served,” Córdova said.
On the other hand, Ampuero determined that his state of health does not determine nor should it be considered so that Toledo can serve a sentence at home, since the Inpe would be in charge of ensuring the state of health of the former president, just as it does with thousands of inmates who are in the same health situation.
Alejandro Toledo indicates that businessman Josef Maiman paid bank loan installments
Former president Alejandro Toledo was questioned by prosecutor José Domingo Pérez on Friday, October 11, in the framework of the South Interoceanic highway case. During his testimony, Toledo revealed that businessman Josef Maiman covered two payments of his mortgage debt for a home in Camacho, located in La Molina.
Toledo explained that he acquired the property in 1997 through installment payments, but had difficulty meeting the amounts due to its high cost. According to Toledo, Maiman offered to settle the last two payments as a token of gratitude, since the former president had helped Maiman’s wife access an English learning program.
“He came to dinner with his wife and asked me how long I had been paying for the house. When he found out my interest rate, he told me: ‘Let me help you.’ Then I found out that he had covered the last two installments,” Toledo declared at the hearing. .
