Vladimir Cerronleader of Perú Libre who has been a fugitive for more than a year, insisted on his request to the Judiciary to declare statute of limitations and file the crime of passive bribery attributed to him by the Prosecutor’s Office in the criminal process he faces for the Antalsis Case.
Through his legal defense, Cerrón appealed to the resolution issued by Judge Leodan Cristóbal Ayala on November 11, in which his request for the prescription of criminal action regarding the aforementioned crime was declared unfounded.
This is because, according to Cerrón’s legal defense, said magistrate issued a resolution without any motivation or justification, also violating the principle of due process and the right to defense, which is why it depends on the higher instance to revoke the contested decision.
With this, his request for an exception to the prescription of the criminal action would have to be declared founded.
Given this, Cristóbal Ayala decided on November 28 to “grant” this appeal and send it to the Third National Criminal Appeals Chamber, a body that, if it is admitted for processing, must convene a virtual hearing to evaluate it with the participation of the parties involved to issue a final decision on the matter.
According to Cerrón’s legal defense, the deadline established in the Penal Code to prosecute his sponsor for this crime has already expired, so since the criminal action has been extinguished, said accusation must be filed.
Likewise, it requests that the provisions of laws 31751 and 32104 on the authentic interpretation of the limitation period that were approved during the administration of Alejandro Soto as president of the Congress of the Republic be applied.
