LIMA, May 14 (BERNAMA-NNN-XINHUA) -- Former Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo on Saturday slammed as a "vile lie" the alleged existence of a Swiss bank account containing US$3 million, in the name of a member of his entourage.

The politician, who is under investigation for allegedly receiving US$20 million in bribes from Brazilian construction firm Odebrecht, has been indignant since government sources leaked this information.

"I want to express my deep concern and indignation, as this news is a vile lie," Toledo reacted upon seeing the news printed by the local press.

Toledo, who was writing on Facebook, said that the allegation of this bank account sought to affect his honour and credibility.
