Despite instances of overcharging for large construction projects during his government, the ex-president denies any wrongdoing.
Former Peruvian President Alan Garcia testified for three hours Friday at the Parliamentary Commission investigating the international corruption case known as “Lava Jato.”

The hearing took place behind closed doors, but its results will be released in coming weeks. García denied any wrongdoing and stated he is willing to participate in any capacity for which he is called by the Commission.

The Commission is investigating the alleged bribery of government officers by Brazilian companies. The case is known as Lava Jato after the "Car Wash" scandal in Brazil which is where the transactions supposedly took place.

Peru is involved in the international case as a result of the alleged bribes. Drawing particular scrutiny are the bribes purportedly made by the Brazilian company Odebrecht for the construction of the inter-oceanic road project that connects Peru and Brazil. The bribes are said to have taken place during the governments of García and Alejandro Toledo.

One can only wonder if they asked him to honor them by doing his favorite dance while he was there. Everyone knows how much he loves to dance:

2. Who knew? I took a peek at a meager Wiki report which said they headed right, to become a legal

party, and the dedicated socialists departed.

Had never heard what you mentioned, so I'll be keeping my eyes open in the future to find out more.

There's so much about Peru which has never been discussed anywhere in US corporate "news."

Thanks for the info.
