Toledo, who was president from 2001 to 2006, is alleged to have received more than $25 million from a Brazilian construction company in exchange for help in obtaining public works contracts.
Peru's Justice Minister Jose Tello said on Wednesday night that a California court judge had ordered Toledo to turn himself in on Friday to the U.S. Marshals Service and await extradition after his request for bail was revoked.
Toledo has denied soliciting or receiving bribes and has not been criminally charged in the U.S. Reuters could not immediately reach the former president or his defense team for comment. The Peruvian minister said 77-year-old Toledo is expected to be held while he awaits trial in a jail complex in the outskirts of Lima that was built to hold former president Alberto Fujimori. Former president Pedro Castillo is also being held there.
