Alan García served as President of Peru twice, from 1985 to 1990 and again from 2006 to 2011. On the morning of 17 April 2019, García shot himself in the head while hiding in his bedroom as he was being presented with an arrest warrant related to investigations for corruption and bribes.

García had been implicated in a sprawling, complex scandal involving financial corruption, that also involved 5 of his former administrators (the Prime Minister, Minister of Finance, Minister of Defense, Minister of the Interior, Minister of Justice, and Minister of Production).

Five months before his arrest, García had handed his personal secretary a sealed envelope to be opened upon his death (it was his suicide note), and began carrying a pistol.

García‘s note read in part, “I’ve seen others paraded around in handcuffs, holding on to their miserable existence, bu Alan García has no reason to suffer such injustices or circuses. To my children, I leave the dignity of my decisions; to my friends, a sign of pride; and, to my adversaries, my cadaver is proof of my disdain.”

Peru’s ex-president Alan Garcia dies after shooting himself to avoid arrest

(CNN)

Former Peruvian president Alan Garcia died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head as police were preparing to arrest him on Wednesday morning.

Garcia, who served as president from 1985 to 1990 and from 2006 to 2011, was under investigation for money laundering and taking bribes in connection with a massive corruption scandal that has engulfed a number of former Latin American leaders.

When police arrived to execute an arrest warrant at his home at 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, Garcia asked them to call his attorney and went to his bedroom, interior minister Carlos Morán told CNN affiliate TV Peru. Moments later, a gunshot was heard. Officers forced entry into the bedroom, where they found Garcia with a wound to the head, Morán said. Garcia, 69, was rushed by police to a hospital in the capital Lima, where he was resuscitated three times, but doctors were ultimately unable to save him, according to the health minister. "The former president made the decision to shoot himself," his lawyer Erasmo Reyna said outside the Casimiro Ulloa hospital before his death.

Global corruption scandal

Garcia is accused of receiving kickbacks from one of Latin America's largest construction firms -- the Brazil-based company Odebrecht -- during the building of an electric train for the Lima metro while he was president during his second term. He has denied the claims. 

In November last year, Garcia had requested asylum at the Uruguayan embassy after a judge banned him from leaving the country for 18 months. The Uruguayan government denied the request in December.

Odebrecht is accused of doling out nearly $800 million in bribes between 2001 and 2016 to get contracts from governments to build roads, bridges, dams and highways.

The corruption scandal -- one of the biggest in modern history -- implicated several former Latin American presidents.

Last year, Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski resigned one day before the congress voted on his impeachment. He continued to deny any wrongdoing in the Odebrecht scandal.

Ecuador suspended Vice President Jorge Glas , who was later sentenced to six years in prison in December 2017 for receiving $13.5 million in bribes from Odebrecht.

And former Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is serving a 12-year sentence for corruption and money laundering, including allegedly allowing Odebrecht to pay for his family's vacation home.

Si alguna vez tus padres te dicen que tu generación es un fracaso, recuérdale que su generación hizo que Alan Garcia fuera presidente por segunda vez.
