秘鲁总统库琴斯基要求美国总统川普考虑驱逐一名前任秘鲁总统，此人在一项贪污案件的调查受到受贿指控。
秘鲁总统办公室说，驱逐亚历杭德罗·托莱多的要求是库琴斯基星期天在与川普打电话时提出的。秘鲁认为托莱多生活在加利福尼亚州，但秘鲁要使他离开美国面临法律障碍。
白宫确认了此次谈话，但没有提到秘鲁驱逐托莱多的请求，只表示两位领导人讨论了各种其他问题。库琴斯基的办公室说，川普邀请他访问美国。
秘鲁当地媒体报道，托莱多打算周末飞往他妻子有公民身份的以色列。但以色列说，托莱多不在星期天晚上从旧金山飞抵以色列的班机上，以色列也不会让这位前秘鲁领导人入境。
秘鲁法院上周下令逮捕和拘留托莱多。检察官正在调查他是否从一家巴西建筑公司巨头那里收取了2000万美元的款项。
拉丁美洲各地的当局已经开始向被控从这家公司收取近8亿美元贿赂的官员提出起诉。该公司在12月与美国司法部签署认罪协议时承认行贿。
Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski has asked U.S. President Donald Trump to consider deporting a former Peruvian president sought by the Andean country to face charges of taking bribes in a graft probe.
Kuczynski's office says the request to deport Alejandro Toledo was made Sunday in a phone call with Trump. Peru believes Toledo is living in California, but Lima is facing legal hurdles in getting him out of the country.
The White House confirmed the talk, but did not mention Peru's deportation request, saying the two discussed various other issues. A statement from Kuczynski's office said Trump invited him to visit the United States.
Local media in Peru reported Toledo had intended to fly over the weekend to Israel where his wife has citizenship. But Israel said Toledo was not on a flight from San Francisco that landed Sunday night, and that the former Peruvian leader would not be allowed into the country.
Last week, a Peruvian court ordered the arrest and detention of Toledo as prosecutors investigate whether he took $20 million in payments from the giant Brazilian construction company Odebrecht.
Authorities across Latin America have been moving to charge officials accused of taking nearly $800 million in bribes from Odebrecht. The company acknowledged the bribes when it signed a plea agreement with the U.S. Justice Department in December.
