The First Preparatory Investigation Court of Lima issued 9 months of preventive detention against the former TV host Andres Hurtado for the Migration case.
Hurtado is accused of having helped soccer player Roberto Siucho speed up the procedures for obtaining Chinese citizenship by contacting the former head of Immigration, Roxana del Águila.
Perú21 learned that the Judiciary accepted the arguments of anti-corruption prosecutor Keeller Cueva, who alleged flight risk and possible obstruction of the investigations. The hearing was not broadcast publicly.
The former comedian is already serving an 18-month preventive detention order, but in the case that involves prosecutor Elizabeth Peralta.
In this process, ‘Chibolín’ is accused of being the intermediary in the delivery of a million-dollar bribe from businessman Javier Miu Lei to Peralta in exchange for the Prosecutor’s Office returning five gold bars that were seized from him in 2020.
Today, in addition, Supreme Judge Juan Carlos Checkley will evaluate the request of Elio Riera, the former presenter’s lawyer, to vary the preventive detention imposed on his client by house arrest.
