Judge Ines Rojas stated that 'Toledo's victims were Peruvians who trusted him as their president,' highlighting the breach of public trust and the impact of corruption.
During his trial, Toledo exhibited disturbing behavior, smirking and laughing at the mention of the $35 million bribe, indicating a lack of remorse.
Throughout the year-long trial, Toledo maintained his innocence, claiming the charges were unfounded; however, his repeated requests to return home reflected despair.
Toledo's conviction represents a significant milestone in Peru's fight against corruption and highlights the enduring consequences of the Lava Jato investigation across South America.
