Israel says will not allow former Peru president Toledo to enter
Israel said on Sunday it would not allow in former Peruvian president Alejandro Toledo, who is wanted in connection with a corruption probe, before his affairs were settled in Peru. Peru had been informed by U.S. authorities on Saturday that they were not planning to keep Toledo from boarding a flight to Israel from California that was scheduled to land in Tel Aviv on Sunday. "Former Peru President Toledo will be allowed into Israel only when his matters are settled in Peru," a Foreign Ministry spokesman said, without elaborating.
Peru says bid to detain fugitive ex-president stalled in U.S.
Peru's Interior Minister Carlos Basombrio said it was unclear where the country's fugitive former president Alejandro Toledo was on Sunday after the government's bid to capture him hit a legal obstacle in the United States. The United States told Peru that there did not appear to be sufficient probable cause to merit detaining Toledo and asked the Andean country to refile its request, Basombrio said by phone. Toledo, once an anti-graft crusader who governed Peru from 2001-2006, is wanted in connection with a far-reaching corruption inquiry, but he has repeatedly denied wrongdoing and has yet to be charged with, or convicted of, any crimes.
