Pedro Castillo: Congress will debate the final report of the constitutional accusation, this Friday the 17th

Programming. He Congress Board of Directors agreed that the final report of constitutional complaint 307 against former president Pedro Castillo debate in plenary on the next Friday February 17. Indeed, after holding a reserved session this Monday, the third vice president of Parliament, Alejandro Muñante, confirmed that the accusation against the former president will be seen on the last day of this legislature after the extension given by the head of Parliament, José Williams.

“On Friday we are going to have a plenary session where we are going to see the issue of Mr. (Pedro) Castillo. We are also going to resolve the delegation of powers requested by the Executive and if time reaches us we will look at other bills, prioritizing those that have already been unanimously approved,” he told the press.

Previously, the Permanent Commission decided to admit, with 19 votes in favor, 9 against and one abstention, the final report presented by the Subcommittee on Constitutional Accusations (SAC) and supported by the congressman and delegate of the prosecution, Diego Bazan (Avanza País), to accuse Terrones Castle for the alleged crimes of criminal organization, influence peddling and collusion to the detriment of the Peruvian State.

It is thus that the Mayor’s Office of Congress —at the disposal of Joseph Williams— summoned the members of the Board of Directors in person and/or virtually in the Sala Grau to define the date and time of the plenary session where the complaint against the former president is debated.

The report against Pedro Castillo occurs as a result of the constitutional complaint filed by the National Prosecutor, Patricia Benavides, for the alleged acts of corruption in the investigations that are being carried out for the cases known as MTC-Tarata Bridge, Petroperu and Ministry of Housing.
