THE PICTURE▸

Peru was one of the countries hit hardest by the Odebrecht bribery network: the company admitted paying about $29 million in bribes there (US DOJ, 2016), and several former presidents have since been prosecuted. Alejandro Toledo was sentenced to 20 years and 6 months in October 2024 for taking Odebrecht bribes, and Ollanta Humala received 15 years for money laundering in April 2025 (Peruvian courts). Everyday fraud includes phone and SMS phishing, fake-loan apps and extortion. Enforcement relies on the special Lava Jato prosecution team, the SBS/UIF financial regulator and the anti-corruption courts.
