“The diligence in charge of the prosecution has been carried out without any disturbance, without any hindrance, without any obstacle or difficulty. The doors have been opened to the prosecution and it has developed normally and without any inconvenience “assured Benji Espinoza, Castillo Terrones’ lawyer.

According to what he stated, the personnel of the special team against corruption in power took the images of the security cameras that they had requested before the Judicial Power corresponding to August 8, 9 and 10 to determine if Yenifer Paredes was in the Palace of Government on the day his arrest was ordered.

Statements by Benji Espinoza

“I am sure I can say that Yenifer was not in the Government Palace and that the cameras will prove it. But the most important thing is to establish that in a democracy we have to know that judges cannot do what they think they have the power to authorize”questioned Benji Espinoza.

The legal defense of Pedro Castillo also questioned that they are attempting to investigate an alleged cover-up committed by the president or the first lady, Lilia Paredes, when there is no cover-up if they are direct relatives.

“A father can’t cover up for his daughter, a sister can’t cover up for her sister. Criminal law establishes what is the acquittal excuse. In other words, there is no cover-up between relatives, if there is no cover-up, there is no complicity”; warned.
