Alejandro Celestino Toledo Manrique (Spanish: [aleˈxandɾo toˈleðo]; born 28 March 1946) is a Peruvian politician who served President of Peru, from 2001 to 2006. He gained international prominence after leading the opposition against president Alberto Fujimori, who held the presidency from 1990 to 2000.
He pursued his undergraduate and graduate education at the University of San Francisco and Stanford University. He originally joined the technical and academic field, from where he participated as an analyst on politics and economics on some occasions. He entered politics when he founded the País Posible party, participating for the first time in the 1995 general election. In 2000, he managed to become in the largest opposition leader to the government of Alberto Fujimori, before whom in the midst of a controversial and bumpy process, lost the election for a second time. After the transition stage and the return of democracy in Peru, he participated for the third time in the 2001 elections against Lourdes Flores of National Unity and Alan García of the Peruvian Aprista Party; he competed with the latter in the second round, winning with 53.1% of the popular vote.
His administration was characterized by the beginning of the country's macroeconomic boom, promoting foreign investment, the signing of free trade agreements, and the implementation of various investment projects in infrastructure and human development. At the same time, Toledo suffered a governance crisis, scandals in his personal life and allegations of corruption against his inner circle, signs that hit his popularity until he fell to 8% of popular approval. Subsequently, he would try to regain the presidency in the 2011 general election, placing fourth. He ultimately placed eighth in the 2016 general election.
Following his presidency, he served as a distinguished resident member of the Center for Advanced Study and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, and as visiting professor at the Center for Democracy, Development and Law Enforcement at the Freeman Spogli Institute. Toledo has been a speaker at conferences in different countries on economics, social inclusion, and democracy, as well as a leader of his political party, the defunct Possible Peru. In 2006, he founded the Global Center for Development and Democracy, an organization advocating sustainable democracies; and between 2009 and 2010, he was a visiting professor at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, and as professor of Foreign Policy at the Brookings Institution.
On 16 July 2019, Toledo was arrested in the United States for an extradition order to Peru, as reported by the Peruvian Public Ministry. On 8 August, attorney Graham Archer, requested a request for release on bail before judge Thomas Hixson. On 12 September 2019, the judge ruled his request for reconsideration inadmissible. However, on 19 March 2020, he was released on bail.
On Sept. 28, 2021, a U.S. District Court approved the extradition of Toledo, ruling that evidence presented in the case against Toledo were “sufficient to sustain the charges of collusion and money laundering” under the U.S. Peru Extradition Treaty.
Early life
Toledo was born into an impoverished peasant Quechuan family. He was the eighth oldest of sixteen brothers and sisters, seven of whom died in childhood. He was born in the village of Ferrer, Bolognesi, but registered in the nearby town of Cabana, Pallasca Province, Ancash Department.
As a child he worked shining shoes and selling newspapers and lottery tickets. When, at age 11, he finished grade school, his father expected him to leave school and get a job to support the family. With his teacher's encouragement, Toledo was able to continue his schooling by working nights and weekends, becoming the first person in his family to attend high school. Toledo eventually found employment as a news correspondent for La Prensa in Chimbote, where he interviewed several high-ranking politicians.
Toledo's prospects improved when two Peace Corps volunteers, Joel Meister and Nancy Deeds, arrived in Chimbote looking for lodging and arrived at his family's door. The two Americans were drawn to Toledo by his "industriousness and charm," and his long conversations with them during the year that followed introduced Toledo to a world outside his small fishing village and inspired him to apply for a local civic group's scholarship to study in the United States. He was chosen to receive a one-year grant, and while in the United States, Deeds and Meister helped him get into the University of San Francisco's special program for non-English speakers.
Toledo received a BA degree in economics and business administration at University of San Francisco by obtaining a partial scholarship and working part-time pumping gas. Starting in 1970 he attended Stanford University, where he received a MA in Education and a M.A. in Economics of Human Resources and, in 1993, a PhD in human resources from the graduate school of education.
Early career
Toledo, a division of the Ministry of Labour and Social Development, from 1981 to 1983, directed the Institute for Economic and Labour Studies in Lima, which was a precursor to the Ministry of Labour and Social Development. He also served as chairman of the Economic Advisory Committee to the president of the Central Reserve Bank and labour minister during the same time.
Toledo served as a consultant for numerous international organizations, including the United Nations, the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, the International Labour Organisation (ILO), and the Organization for Economic Coordination and Development (OECD). In six Central American countries, he led the 1989 UNDP/ILO mission for the analysis of: "Impact of Macroeconomic Policies on Growth, Education, and Salaries."
Toledo has also worked as a full professor at ESAN Graduate School of Business, one of Peru's top business schools, since 1986 and 1991, and currently as a licensed professor at ESAN University. He worked as an affiliate researcher at the Harvard Institute for International Development from 1991 to 1994. He has also worked at the University of Waseda in Tokyo and at the Japan Foundation.
Later career and corruption charges
Toledo is a visiting scholar at Stanford University in the United States as of February 2017. Odebrecht said in 2016 that the corporation had paid more than $800 million in bribes in several Latin American nations, including $29 million in Peru, where all of whom have denied receiving bribes. A Peruvian judge ordered Toledo's deposition on February 9, 2017, after it was discovered that he stole $20 million (£16 million) in bribes from Odebrecht in exchange for giving public works contracts. Interpol was alerted. Toledo, who was unaccounted for at the time of the order for his preventive detention, was arrested but his counsel Heriberto Bentez requested a limited appearance as a condition to surrender, which was denied. The Peruvian justice declared him a fugitive, and the government even gave a US $ 100,000 reward to anyone who reported his whereabouts. Knowing his address in the United States, an extradition book was published for him. The Public Ministry released a long report on the various steps that Toledo may have taken in favour of the Brazilian company, which made it impossible for other companies to intervene and compete. The issuance of resolutions and decrees relating to the Interoceanic Highway project, exoneration of the SNIP, and lowering regulatory requirements are among the legislative requirements that will be included in this series.
Camargo Correa paid 91 thousand dollars to an account of the Citibank bank in the United Kingdom, which is part of the company Tailbridge LTD. However, it was not known who controlled the account. All in all, 4 million dollars from the Brazilian firm would have been received, according to Josef Maiman, a collaborator and former friend from Toledo, Toledo, Ohio.
According to the Peruvian Public Ministry, Toledo was arrested in the United States on July 16 for an extradition order to Peru. Attorney Graham Archer filed a petition for release on bail before judge Thomas Hixson on August 8. The judge dismissed his appeal for reconsideration as inadmissible on September 12, 2019. However, he was released on bail on 19 March 2020.
Judge Thomas Hixson of the United States District Court in Toledo, California, approved the extradition of Toledo on September 28, 2021, finding that the allegations of collusion and money laundering were "sufficient to support the charges of collusion and money laundering" under the US Extradition Treaty.
