He bribed $20 million, arrested former president

Peru's former president, Alejandro Toledo, has been arrested in the U.S., informing Peruvian authorities.

The chief prosecutor's office said his arrest was in connection with a request for extradition issued in March last year.

Mr. Toledo is accused of taking bribes worth $20m in the Brazilian construction company Odebrecht, while it was in office between 2001 and 2006.

He denies all charges, saying they are politically motivated.
