The Sixth Provincial Provincial Prosecutor for the Extinction of Domain of Lima, initiated a process of “loss of domain” on the former president’s real estate Alejandro Toledo, who is followed by two judicial processes for alleged corruption in the cases Odebrecht Y Ecoteva.
Loss of ownership is the mechanism that allows the State to pursue the assets that an investigated party acquired with illicit funds. It is processed through the judicial channel separately from the processes or eventual convictions.

Therefore, the Lava Jato Team prosecutor was notified, José Domingo Pérez and to the Supreme Court of Justice in order to receive information on the investigation and extradition processes of Toledo and his wife Eliane Karp.
Alejandro Toledo – on whom a United States extradition process is weighing – left the Maguire (California) correctional facility last Friday after the federal judge of the Northern California State Court, Thomas S. Hixson accepted the request of the former president on parole bail, at the risk of contracting coronavirus.
Asked about the investigation into loss of domain, the lawyer Roberto Su, legal defense of Toledo Manrique and Karp de Toledo, maintained that so far they have not been notified, but that they have become aware of this new investigation.
“What we know is that a file is being created in which the assets of Mr. Toledo are to be affected. But two of them (Las Casuarinas and Torre Omega) are already affected, so possibly they want to make the official transfer of these in the name of the State because Josef Maiman has recognized that he was given the illicit money, and that with that’s what he bought the Casuarinas house, ”he said.
In the case of the Punta Sal (Tumbes) and Camacho assets, Su Rivadeneyra said that the money was loaned by Maiman, and that, with this, part of the mortgage on both properties was paid. Therefore, he indicated, the prosecution would seek to affect the percentage of each of these houses.
“But it must be taken into account that, as long as the criminal liability (of Toledo and Karp) is not established, the assets cannot be affected. In addition, it must be taken into account that the loan of money was received without knowing the origin of that money, which was made seven or eight years later, when Odebrecht was not known.“Said the lawyer.
All properties are under the temporary administration of the National Seized Assets Program (Pronabi) attached to the Ministry of Justice. However, this measure is provisional until the judicial process against Toledo Manrique and others is concluded.
There are four real estate properties linked to the former presidential president and were seized by the Public Ministry after the investigations against Toledo began in January 2017.
It is a House on Cascajal de La Molina street, a beach house in Tumbes, a set of offices and warehouses in the Omega Tower (Surco) and part of Camacho’s house. All this valued at approximately 14 million soles.
In October 2017, the National Program of Seized Assets (Pronabi) reported that it will use the seized properties to Toledo as part of the criminal process that is followed for the crime of money laundering.
