País para Todos spoke about information that reported a first instance sentence for the crime of embezzlement against its presidential candidate Carlos Álvarez in 2002.
The political group, through its spokesperson, Juan Sheput, clarified that its candidate does not have any convictions since, four years later, a ruling by the First Transitory Chamber declared his acquittal and ordered that the judicial and police records generated by the process be annulled.
“Part of the story has been told, Carlos has no sentence, what he has is an acquittal. The recitals are annulled, because they are full of unproven situations. In that record of annulment it is very clear, there is no longer a record of antecedents, therefore, our candidate had nothing to report. Carlos moves on,” the former congressman told Perú21.
The aforementioned resolution of 2066 reforms the initial sentence that declared Álvarez guilty, absolving him of the tax accusation:
“There is annulment in the end of the sentence that condemns Carlos Gonzalo Álvarez Loayza as an accomplice to the crime against the Public Administration – embezzlement, to the detriment of the State and Society, to four years of imprisonment, the execution of which is suspended for a period of three years; reforming it: they acquitted the aforementioned defendant of the tax accusation for the crime of embezzlement to the detriment of the State and Society; they ordered that the annulment of their judicial and police records generated as a result of the process,” the document reads clearly.
“That Carlos registers this situation is optional. We are talking about what the law requires. The law requires indicating when there is a final conviction and here there has been no final conviction. Later one could clarify, but that already enters another type of terrain that is not illegal. Carlos Álvarez does not have any type of question from a legal point of view to continue moving forward. It is not at all a cause for departure as they have mentioned in some programs, in no way, “explained Sheput, who denounced a smear campaign against Alvarez.
In interview with Peru21TV The expert on electoral issues, José Manuel Villalobos explained that it is not mandatory for candidates to register their acquittals.
“The candidate’s convictions for intentional crime are declared in the resume, but it is not mandatory to declare the complaints or criminal proceedings in which he has been involved, nor the acquittal sentences that declare the innocence of the charges against him,” said the specialist.
