It's like every former President in Latin America is being arrested for something nowadays.

WTH just happened ? Does anybody know why Garcia offed himself ?


He was involved in the Odebrecht scandal, and he would have not gotten off lightly in either the eyes of public opinion or the courts.

That makes the last three Presidents of Peru involved in that. Wow.

So the only ones not involved are Fujimori and Bermudez? That's hillarious.

Except, you know, Álvaro Uribe, who is free tweeting about how massacres are justified and MI6 is spying on him.

Of course. After all he's a hero of the war on terror and for years he defended the last bastion of freedom in South America, drowning under the socialist wave.

Garcia's accusations were very weak. He got U$120k from a lecture he made in Sao Paulo, he paid all taxes.

Is it just me or former left-wing leaders in the region are more likely to get a harsh legal treatment than the ones from the right?
