Judges at the National Superior Court said Humala and Heredia had accepted several million dollars in illicit contributions from both Odebrecht, which was the subject of a massive corruption case that reached the very top of the Brazilian and other Latin American governments, and ‘s former President Hugo Chavez. 

Though Humala was unsuccessful in his first bid to lead the country in 2006, he won the country’s top job in 2011.

Former President Pedro Castillo (2021-2022) is currently on trial for an attempted coup, and Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000) was convicted of various corruption and human rights abuses. 

Odebrecht corruption scandal still making waves

The sentencing of Humala and Heredia marks the latest chapter in the (now renamed Novonor), one of the biggest construction companies in the world. 

The company admitted in 2016 that it had doled out more than $29 million (€26 million) in bribes to Peruvian politicians alone between 2005 and 2016.

Initial investigations against Humala began in 2015, before across South America.

Though Humala was the first former president to go on trial for ties to Odebrecht in 2022, other prominent politicians and former state governors are currently under investigation.
