Peru's jailed ex-president Toledo appeals to Fujimori's daughter for pardon

Tuesday, 4 August 2026, 06:32 · 1 min read

Alejandro Toledo, who served as Peru's president from 2001 to 2006 and once led opposition to the authoritarian rule of Alberto Fujimori, has appealed to Fujimori's daughter Keiko for a pardon, saying "I don't want to die in prison." Toledo is currently imprisoned on corruption charges linked to bribes from Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht. The plea marks a striking political reversal, as Toledo now depends on Keiko Fujimori — a powerful right-wing opposition figure and daughter of the very autocrat he helped bring down — to secure his freedom.
