The former president’s lawyer, Wilfredo Pedraza, will question his client about contributions from his 2006 and 2011 campaigns. Likewise, Martín Belaúnde Lossio will also be questioned. The session will take place in the Third National Collegiate Criminal Court at 9:00 a.m.

The Public Ministry requests that the former president be sentenced to 20 years in prison, while the former first lady, Nadine Heredia, requests that she be sentenced to 26 years and 6 months in prison.

During last week’s session, the former president assured that his wife’s agendas are his “intellectual property.” In addition, she indicated that she assumed that role in the event of a possible presidential vacancy. In that sense, he indicated the agendas are not within the reach of presidential campaigns.

Likewise, the Prosecutor’s Office assures that the former president’s campaigns received financing from the former president of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, and from the party of Brazilian president Lula da Silva, the Workers’ Party.

In that sense, the former president denied having received contributions from Chávez, but noted that he did agree to a “donation” from a left-wing Venezuelan.

Humala indicated that the Venezuelan businessman Julio Makaren, with whom he had several conversations, would make a “very personal” donation in 2005 for the constitution of the Peruvian Nationalist Party, and that he could run in the 2006 presidential elections.

“Neither I, nor my wife, nor any party leader have received those contributions (from Odebrecht). There is no prosecution witness who has declared having introduced money from Brazil into the 2011 electoral campaign,” the president added.

Prosecutor Germán Juárez denied Humala, and recalled that it is corroborated that Odebrecht gave US$3 million to his campaign.
