A Peruvian court on Monday sentenced former president Alejandro Toledo to more than 20 years in prison after he was convicted of accepting bribes from Brazilian construction company Odebrecht.
The Superior Court accepted the prison term recommended by the prosecution, it announced at a hearing attended by the 78-year-old, who led the South American nation from 2001 to 2006.
Toledo, who says he has cancer and heart problems, appeared calm as he was found guilty of collusion and money laundering for having received $35 million from Odebrecht.
