The Money Laundering Prosecutor today asked the Judiciary to revoke the appearance with restrictions issued against Vladimir Cerronowner of Peru Libre (PL), and impose a measure of preventive detention.

The argument is that the former regional governor of Junín has not paid the S/20,000 bail that Judge John Pillaca ordered in the resolution issued on November 25, 2022.

Cerrón had 10 days to comply with that order, but he did not comply. According to the judicial ruling, this offense could motivate the change of the legal condition of the person being investigated from appearance to prison if the Public Ministry required it.

The former regional authority is accused of being the leader of Los Dinámicos del Centro, the criminal organization that charged quotas to workers of the Junín regional government and bribes in exchange for handing out briefs to finance PL party activities.

A few days ago, the Third Criminal Chamber of National Appeals confirmed the rejection of the prosecutor’s request to issue 36 months of preventive detention against the former regional governor of Junín.

In that case, the court concluded that there was not enough evidence to consider that Cerrón Rojas would hinder the investigations or flee the country.
