The Judiciary is reading the sentence against the former president Pedro Castillo Terronesthe former premier Betssy Chavez Chinothe former advisor Aníbal Torres and the former head of the Interior Willy Huerta for the crime of conspiracy to rebel.
Last week, the court gave a preview of the sentence where it was concluded that Castillo had to serve a sentence of 11 years, 5 months and 15 days for the coup d’état he attempted to carry out in December 2022.
“The facts presented constitute the crime of conspiracy to rebel,” was what they mentioned during today’s reading.
ADVANCE OF SENTENCE
According to what was established in the advance of the sentence, which was read on November 27, Castillo Terrones was attributed that on December 6, 2022 he met with Torres Vásquez and Chávez Chino to draft the coup d’état letter and this is verified with the videos recorded in the Palace camera. As indicated by the court based on a testimonial statement, Chávez Chino requested that the transmission had to occur through the IRTP signal, so that night he called the secretary general of the Ministry of Culture to find the head of the IRTP and the message be transmitted the next day. Another piece of evidence is a document located on a Palace computer.
The testimony of former Minister of the Interior Willy Huertas indicated that Betssy Chávez tried to have the National Police allow pro-government protesters to enter the parade ground; this coordination was also done through the Ministry of Defense with the phrase “it is by order of the president.”
