PERUVIAN EX-PRESIDENT ON TRIAL FOR ODEBRECHT SCANDAL

On 21 February, the Mail Online reported that a Peruvian judge had started a trial for corruption against former President Ollanta Humala and his wife, both accused of money laundering in a scandal involving Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht.  Humala is the first former leader of Peru standing trial in Latin America’s biggest graft scandal, although 3 other ex-Presidents have been involved in the case. Prosecutors accused Humala and his wife of receiving over $3 million from Odebrecht for his presidential campaigns in 2006 and 2011.
