LIMA, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) -- Peruvian authorities on Monday impounded two properties belonging to former president Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, who is under house arrest pending a corruption investigation.
"The two properties are registered in the name of the company Dorado Asset Management, whose majority shareholder is Kuczynski," prosecutor Jose Domingo Perez said.
Kuczynski is accused of accepting hundreds of thousands of U.S. dollars in bribes from Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht between 2004 and 2007.
Kuczynski, now 80, opted to resign rather than face possible impeachment proceedings in 2018, serving only two years as Peruvian president. He has denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
