Alfredo Yalán, lawyer of the former minister John Silvaassured that once his sponsor is handed over to the authorities, he will give information that will compromise senior officials in the case Tarata Bridge.
In statements to RPP, the lawyer ruled out that Silva Villegas is hiding from justice abroad and that he is waiting for the Public Ministry to accept his request for an audit of the committee in charge of the Tarata Bridge tender.
“I have learned that the Minister of the Interior says that my client could flee abroad, in this regard I must specify that my client is in Peru because he wants to continue believing in institutions such as the Public Ministry and the Judicial Power, the fact that Pablo Sánchez or a supreme judge do not give justice objectively from our position does not mean that these institutions are failing“, said.

“He is willing to turn himself in to the authorities, he is waiting for the Nation’s prosecutor’s office to carry out the expert opinion on the entire Tarata III bridge tender, Yesterday we requested an appeal that calls for experts to be appointed to investigate the committee made up of three people. That is the only thing my client expects to collaborate with justice, as he has always been”he added.
“As soon as my client, former minister Silva, turns himself in, he is going to make important statements and involve high-level officials who are involved with the Tarata III bridge. because the prosecution does not know the truth, the only thing he is waiting for is the expert opinion that demonstrates the festination, the falsification, which has existed and exists in the tender of the Tarata Bridge to put himself in law, since an expert opinion has been requested urgently”, he added.
Silva Villegas has been a fugitive from Peruvian justice for a month and is part of the rewards program of the Ministry of the Interior along with other former officials under investigation, such as the former Secretary General of the Government Palace, Bruno Pacheco.
