Ex-Peru president arrested in California for drunkenness

Toledo is accused of taking $20 million in bribes while leading Peru. He has been living in the San Francisco Bay Area, and Peruvian authorities have been seeking his extradition since 2017.

He's a drunken criminal but living here?  Must have bribed someone.

Toledo was Peru's president from 2001 to 2006 and developed a reputation for partying. His presidential aircraft became known as the "party plane" after a government official was caught on camera drunkenly singing a popular tune called "Pass Me the Bottle" while aboard a flight to Europe.

After Toledo left power, incoming President Alan Garcia published a tally of Toledo's liquor purchases during his time in the presidential palace: $164,000 in spirits, whisky, wine, beer and other alcoholic beverages.
Peruvian prosecutors accuse Toledo of taking $20 million in bribes from Brazilian construction firm Odebrecht while president. He has denied wrongdoing. In February 2017, then-President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski asked President Donald Trump to deport the ex-Peruvian president.
Seize his assets, wrap his arse up, and ship him and all like him back.

  1. Shouldn't the headline read: "Peruvian ex-president"? The current one makes it appear he's an ex-Peruvian. OCD is a curse!!

  4. That "government official" singing "Pass Me the Bottle" wasn't a certain US Secretary of State, was it? One who's experienced in bribes? Someone should ask him whether he's "donated" to the Clinton Foundation.

  7. Has Peru asked for extradition? We can't arrest him and send him back if they haven't. We might be able to deport him if he came here and overstayed his Visa.
