Peru’s former President Alejandro Toledo was granted a short reprieve on his extradition from the US to Peru, which intends to put him on trial on corruption charges.
US District Judge Laurel Beeler in San Francisco put Toledo’s extradition off for one week to give him a chance to ask the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals for a longer stay. The appeals court had earlier rejected Toledo’s request for a stay while he challenged the extradition.
