The row over under which government more bribes were paid by Odebrecht is in full swing. The pro-Fujimori Fuerza Popular (FP) points the finger at the parties in government since 2001; these in turn argue that just as much corruption (probably more) took place under the government of Alberto Fujimori in the 1990s.

The US Treasury Department on 21 December published its report into Odebrecht’s bribery activities in a total of twelve countries. It claimed that US$29 million were paid in Peru between 2005 and 2015, a period covering the administrations of Alejandro Toledo (2001-06), Alan García (2006-11) and Ollanta Humala (2011-16). Since the pro-Fujimorista Fuerza Popular was in opposition during these years, it was quick to take advantage of the row to counteract numerous claims that FP is riddled with people with reputations for corruption. FP members of congress were quick to establish a congressional commission to investigate; it was formally constituted on 6 January.

But opponents of the FP have also been quick to point out that many of the construction contracts with Odebrecht, whose presence in Peru dated from 1979, were originally signed during the Fujimori period (1990-2000). La República has usefully itemised the projects by number (though not by the size of the investment involved). According to these figures, more contracts were signed during the ten years of the Fujimori administration than during the fifteen years that followed.

Of the total number of projects, one was signed during the government of Gen. Francisco Morales Bermúdez (1975-80), one under the first government of Alan García (1985-90), 30 under Fujimori, eleven under Toledo, ten each under Garcia’s second government and that of Humala. La República cites the anti-corruption commission, presided over by Javier Diez Canseco, in calculating that the value of the contracts signed with Odebrecht under Fujimori was nearly US$450 million.

Speaking to the congressional commission looking into the Odebrecht scandal, the Comptroller of the Republic, Edgar Alarcón said, on 19 January, that the contracts with a number of Brazilian construction companies had resulted in US$319 million in damages to the Peruvian government. In the information he handed to the Commission in seven separate boxes, he said that there were 22 reports in which “there were easily more than 150 people” identified, including former ministers, individuals and corporate entities (personas naturales y jurídicas).

On 20 January, a detention order was issued against the vice-minister for communications during the second García government, Jorge Cuba. When police raided his home he appeared to have fled. Likewise, Edwin Luyo, the head of the bidding committee for the Lima metro (one of Odebrecht’s larger projects in Peru that ended up costing more than US$500 million) under the APRA administration was also arrested. Odebrecht had admitted to the US Treasury Department that it paid US$1.4 million to a senior official of the García government for the Lima Metro contract and to members of the board in charge of the bidding procedures.
