LIMA - A judge ordered Peru’s former president Pedro Pablo Kuczynski to spend 10 days in jail and authorized a search of his properties in connection with a bribery probe into Brazilian builder Odebrecht, according to a judicial resolution seen by Reuters on Wednesday.
In a phone interview broadcast on local TV channel Panamericana, Kuczynski called the order “ridiculous”, adding “I don’t have an opinion for now.” He declined further comment.TV images showed police officers gathered outside Kuczynski’s sprawling home in Lima’s financial district while crowds of journalists waited for his arrest.
Prosecutors have accused Kuczynski of involvement in “corrupt acts” related to a highway contract and an irrigation contract that Odebrecht won while Kuczynski was a cabinet minister in the government of former president Alejandro Toledo, according to the judicial resolution. His secretary and driver were also ordered to spend 10 days in jail, it said.
Kuczynski has said he was cooperating with prosecutors. Authorities barred him from leaving Peru shortly after he resigned the presidency and later froze his bank accounts.
