Supreme Court rejects Pedro Castillo's appeal with which he sought to annul the Mariano González case

Former president Pedro Castillo intended to nullify the investigation for allegedly having collaborated in the leaks of John Silva, Bruno Pacheco and Friar Vasquez.

The Permanent Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court rejected the former president’s appeal Pedro Castillo against decision in the first instance that declared unfounded the protection of rights with which it sought to annul the tax investigation for the alleged crime of personal concealment and criminal organization. This case began after the former president dismissed the former Minister of the Interior Mariano Gonzalez after forming the PNP Special Team, led by Colonel PNP Harvey Quilted.

Specifically, Castillo Terrones wanted the Judiciary to annul González Fernández’s testimonial statement of July 20, 2022, one day after he was removed from office and declared in an interview with Panamericana that the Former president has “a commitment” to corruption.

After receiving the statement from the former head of the Ministry, the national prosecutor, Patricia Benavidesbegan a preliminary investigation against Pedro Castillo for allegedly having collaborated in the leaks of the ex-minister John Silvathe former presidential secretary Bruno Pacheco and his nephew Fray Vasquez Castillo.

The legal defense of the ex-governor, the lawyer Eduardo Pachasquestioned the fact that González’s testimonial was taken before ordering the preliminary investigation, therefore, the lawyer asserts, the right to due process and defense would have been violated for not having been notified or having participated in the interrogation.

Then, Pachas would invoke article 117 of the Constitution, referring to the scenarios in which an acting head of state can be accused during his term.
