Zoraida Ávalos’ tax argument
The fiscal requirement, promoted in this case by the prosecutor Zoraida Avalosis based on the repeated failure to comply with the rules of conduct imposed on Chávez after the Constitutional Court (TC) annulled a previous extension of his preventive detention in September 2025 and ordered his immediate release.
According to judicial sources, Chávez would have omitted the biometric controls scheduled for September 29, October 27 and November 3 of this year. In addition, his absence has been recorded in at least four sessions of the oral trial being followed against him in the case of December 7, 2022.
The permanence of the former premier at the Mexican Embassy in Lima, from where she has requested political asylum alleging persecution, is an element that the Prosecutor’s Office presents as a manifest and aggravated danger of flight and obstruction of justice, despite the defense justifying it as a protective measure.
Hearing date and defense response
The hearing has been called for this Thursday, November 13. In it, the magistrate in charge must listen to the arguments of both parties before making a decision.
The legal defense of Betssy Chávez, by the lawyer Raul Noblecillahas tried to justify his sponsored absences for supposed “health reasons.” Likewise, he has indicated that a new measure of preventive detention would be “disproportionate” given that the former official is “under diplomatic protection” in a foreign headquarters.
