Brazilian police have uncovered evidence that Peruvian President Ollanta Humala may have received $3 million in bribes from engineering and construction conglomerate Odebrecht, according to federal court filings in Brazil.
The court papers, made public on Monday, show that documents seized from Marcelo Odebrecht, the jailed former chief executive of the Brazilian company, list $3 million in expenses attributed only to “Program OH.”
The expenses were unexplained and police said in the court papers it was their investigative hypothesis the initials referred to the Peruvian leader.
Humala in a statement on Tuesday denied taking bribes and said he had summoned Brazil’s ambassador to his offices to demand an official explanation of the procedures in federal court in Curitiba, Brazil.
