Peru’s former President Alejandro Toledo won a two-week reprieve from a US appeals court in his bid to avoid extradition to his home country to face corruption charges.

The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco on Thursday ordered a pause after a lower-court judge and a three-judge appellate panel both rejected Toledo’s request to halt extradition.
