BBC World Business Report on Odebrecht by Geovanny Vicente Romero


                    



A former president of Peru, Alejandro Toledo, is at the centre of a global manhunt, after a court issued an international warrant for his arrest following allegations he took $20m in bribes from Odebrecht, a Brazilian construction firm. The Peruvian authorities have offered a reward worth $30,000 for information leading to his capture. Mr Toledo has denied any wrongdoing. We hear how the scandal has spread across the region with several people mired in it, such as close associates of a former president of Brazil and the current president of Colombia. We have analysis from Andrea Zarate, a journalist in Lima and Geovanny Vicente Romero, a political analyst and contributor with TeleSur.
