Confirmed. Two expert reports by the Public Prosecutor’s Office on two cell phones belonging to Captain Junior Izquierdo, known as ‘Culebra’, confirm, according to the Sunday paper Panorama, that the audio recordings and text messages exchanged with the Minister of the Interior, Juan José Santiváñez, are true.

However, the expert report on the recording made by ‘Culebra’ to the Minister of the Interior, which would prove that the fugitive Vladimir Cerrón had received help from the government to escape, has yet to be ready.
The documents constitute a formal examination of two cell phones from Culebra, a Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 and a Samsung SM A525.
The messages and audio recordings between the captain and the minister do exist and are real. This would demonstrate the friendship between the two.
According to Panorama, there is a kind of fixation that stands out from the back-and-forth messaging: the then lawyer Juan José Santiváñez wanted to be a government minister, and he wanted the sash since at least January of this year.
RECORDING EXPERTISE IS MISSING
As we recall, on the 6th of this month, the Minister of the Interior denied the veracity of the audio recorded by ‘Culebra’.
That day, Santiváñez avoided answering about the content of the audio by presenting an expert opinion that concluded that it was not his voice that appeared in the recording made by Police Captain Junior Izquierdo, known as ‘Culebra’, and that was handed over to the Prosecutor’s Office.
In that audio, he is heard saying, among other revelations, that the fugitive leader of Peru Libre was helped to escape from the police by being transported in a presidential vehicle assigned to Dina Boluarte.
For his part, ‘Culebra’ confirmed the veracity of the content of the audio. In his statement, which lasted almost three hours and was held before the Interior Minister’s statement, he assured that he had provided the Oversight Commission with an expert report of the audio of the meeting with Santiváñez, and that he would corroborate that the recording was true.
He explained that he made the audio recording of the meeting with the minister without imagining the revelations that he was going to give, and he specified that he did it because he felt disappointed by him because before being appointed to that position, he had promised him that he would support Diviac, but in the end he did not do so, and tried to dissolve it – according to him – by order of the head of state.
According to ‘Culebra’, at the aforementioned meeting, the head of the Interior also assured that the cell phone of a person from Cerrón’s inner circle was intercepted, and that his whereabouts were known, and that he shared this information with four high-ranking officials from the Government Palace, and that after two hours, the aforementioned telephone device was deactivated because it had been alerted.
‘Culebra’ has been summoned for the second time for this Wednesday 18th. This, after Minister Santiváñez refused to allow him to appear to testify a few days ago.
