The decision is based on the amendment to the Criminal Procedure Code issued by the Executive. This provision requires that, to dictate preventive detention, the projected sentence be greater than five years. In the case of Oscar Acuñathe charge for alleged simple bribery does not exceed that limit. Therefore, the tax requirement was considered inadmissible.

Although the Prosecutor’s Office alleged risk of flight and elements that would link Acuna with a payment of S/77,000 made by a businessman associated with Frigoincathe court concluded that the three legal requirements were not met jointly. Without this comprehensive compliance, the coercive measure cannot be applied.
With this, the investigation will continue while Oscar Acuña remains free. However, the Judiciary specified that the procedural situation may vary if new elements arise or if the Prosecutor’s Office expands charges. The case remains under public monitoring due to the proximity of the accused to Cesar Acunaleader of the Alliance for Progress, and for the questions surrounding the Qali Warma program.
