These are the reasons why the Inspectorate filed the complaints against Harvey Colchado

Wind in your favor. The Inspectorate of the National Police of Peru decided to file the complaints against Colonel PNP Harvey Colchado because they did not find “sufficient or reasonable evidence” to initiate an administrative disciplinary procedure after being denounced by President Pedro Castillo due to the search of the Government Palace in search of his sister-in-law Yenifer Paredes and another anonymous accusation.

What was he accused of? According to Resolution No. 081-2022, the alleged irregular acts were that Colchado “exceeded his limits as a result of arbitrariness by carrying out acts that were not supported by the rule of law, the Constitution and the laws, having violated the immunity of the president of the Republic”.

They found no responsibility

The resolution explains that the Disciplinary Administrative Procedure “has the purpose of identifying, locating and collecting indications, evidence, evidence and others in order to determine on a preliminary basis if there are circumstances that justify the start of it.”

However, “the alleged commission of serious or very serious offenses has not been configured.”

For example, one of the president’s claims was that Colchado behaved in a “violent” manner against the staff of Casa de Pizarro during the raid and that he “violated” Castillo’s immunity by entering environments to review documents that contained “secrets of Condition”.

However, the head of the Military House in the Palace, José Mariscal Quiroz, left that version without floor after having declared before the Inspectorate that he did not notice “any excess or conduct that violates the rules of courtesy, due treatment or functional duties.”

President Ángel Bravo’s aide, for his part, indicated in his statement that he did not notice any aggressive attitude on the part of Colonel PNP either.

Along these lines, the officer Ninasihincha noted in the resolution that this version “lacks truth since it has been completely distorted with the testimonial statements of military and police personnel, that there was no such violence and mistreatment.”

Regarding the violation of immunity, the Inspectorate was also clear: “(There are no) revealing elements that the competent instance thus qualifies, such imputation in the complaint being merely subjective without any evidence to confirm it; therefore, Colchado did not misuse his authority or violate the immunity of the whistleblower.”

The report states that no evidence has been recorded to show that “damage” was caused to the president’s children by entering their rooms with the deployment of the proceedings, nor that there is evidence that Colchado is used as a “political instrument” by the National Prosecutor, as argued by the president in his complaint.

And regarding the tax record that Harvey Colchado would have “broken” due to “additional annotations” with which he would not have agreed, it was clarified that this document was a draft and that the agent made that decision for “procedural reasons of security of the diligence ”.

For this reason, “the facts and accusations attributed to Colonel PNP Harvey Colchado Humaní and to Captain PNP. Carla Marlene Arenas Mercado, in the content of the complaint filed by citizen José Pedro Castillo Terrones, President of the Republic, on the occasion of the execution of the court order of search, lockout and search of residence carried out on August 9, 2022, in the presidential residence of the Government Palace, they become inconsistent and unsubstantiated, as sufficient and reasonable evidence has not been found to objectively demonstrate and cause conviction about the existence of any disciplinary responsibility in the act of the accused”.

RESOLUTIVE PART

The Inspectorate decided to declare the Disciplinary Administrative Procedure against Colonel PNP Harvey Colchado “no place” and ordered its final file. In addition, it declared the request for absolute nullity by Colchado unfounded, since he has not opened any open administrative process.
