“If it suited him, if he was classified in Barbadillo, there is also room for one more”, he declared this Friday to N-channel the president of the National Penitentiary Institute (INPE), Federico Lacquer.
Currently, in this penitentiary center, they remain detained Alberto Fujimori, who are serving sentences for crimes committed under their government, such as those in the Barrios Altos and La Cantuta cases, and Peter Castillo, is being investigated for rebellion after orchestrating a coup last December.

“We have a capacity of 40,000 people and we have 90,000 people deprived of their liberty. We are 50,000 housing units short, but if a judge orders preventive detention, there will always be room for one more and Barbadillo is no exception”Lacquer added.
Toledo has promised to surrender to US authorities for extradition if he stays out of jail, while his appeal is being considered.
In a brief filed with the federal court for the Northern District of California, based in San Francisco, his lawyers responded to the request of the American government that he be detained preventively before the extradition of the ex-president, requested by justice Peruvian for crimes of corruption.
His defense argued that in the three years since the start of the legal proceedings against him, he has never attempted to escape or leave US territory. In fact, they presented a document from the Preliminary Services Agencywhich is responsible for proposing recommendations on the release of the accused, in which this body shows no opposition to Toledo continuing to be released from prison.

In this sense, the defense indicated that the former president will surrender to the US Marshals once the Peruvian authorities have completed the preparations for his extradition and his trip to the North American country.
Last September, American justice gave the green light to his extradition to Peru, having found sufficient evidence to justify this measure, although the final decision was left in the hands of the Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Toledo is accused of having received millions of dollars in bribes from the Brazilian company Odebrecht in exchange for favoring his business when he was still president. Specifically, he was investigated for the alleged commission of the crimes of money laundering, collusion and influence peddling, in relation to the contracts awarded to Odebrecht for the construction of the Interoceanic route between Brazil and Peru.
In the Peruvian chapter of the Odebrecht affair, Latin America’s biggest corruption scandal, former presidents Alan García (2006-2011), Ollanta Humala (2011-2016) and Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (2016-2018), as well as three-time presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori.
