He Constitutional Court (TC) decided to declare void the resolution issued by the First Preparatory Investigation Court of ATE that prevented the former president from Alejandro Toledo Be transferred to the San Pablo Clinic for medical treatment. The decision, which dates back to March 2025, was challenged by the lawyer of the ex -president, who argued that the previous resolution violated the rights to health and personal integrity.
Toledo, who suffers from various serious diseases, had requested private medical care due to the complexity of his health status, a request that, according to the Constitutional Court, was not properly evaluated. The Court also highlighted the need to take into account the critical situation of Toledo, who has been waiting for a formal response to its request for medical care for more than two years, which questions the effectiveness of the judicial system in the protection of human rights.

It should be noted that Toledo Manrique was sentenced to 20 years and 6 months of deprivation of liberty for the crimes of money laundering and collusion aggravated by the interoceanic case. The sentence against the ex -president will be computed as of April 23, 2023, when it was extradited from the United States to Peru, so it will be fulfilled on October 22, 2043.
TC had already resolved in favor of Alejandro Toledo
The Constitutional Court issued in April 2024 that partially favored the claim of habeas corpus filed by the defense of Alejandro Toledo, ex -president of Peru. On that occasion, the TC ordered the National Penitentiary Institute (INPE) to pronounce formally and motivated on Toledo’s application to receive outpatient medical care in a private clinic, at its own cost.
However, in March 2025, the First Preparatory Investigation Court of ATE rejected the transfer application, arguing that there was not enough justification for it. The decision was based on a penitentiary medical evaluation that declared Toledo as “clinically stable” and confirmed that he already received specialized care in Essalud hospitals. Given this resolution, the Defense of Toledo filed an appeal for Salto before the Constitutional Court, arguing that the provisions of the April 2024 ruling had not been complied with.
To this last appeal, the TC issued ruling on July 31, ordering that the First Preparatory Court of ATE issues, immediately, a new resolution that allows Alejandro Toledo to receive medical attention at the San Pablo Clinic, under the conditions requested by its defense: Ambulatory attention, without internment and funded by the ex -president itself.
On the other hand, the order rejected the request to send the case to the Public Ministry or the National Judicial Control Authority to sanction the Judge or the National Penitentiary Institute (INPE), considering that, although the decisions were insufficient, pronouncements on the subject were issued.
Toledo’s lawyer, Roberto Su, is pronounced
In statements for this newspaper, the former president’s defense reported that they are waiting for the TC to notify the Court of ATE to order through a resolution, Alejandro Toledo’s transfer to the clinic for ambulatory medical care, which includes the clinical exams, images and laboratory tests that doctors order.
“His relatives, tomorrow (August 7) are going to coordinate with the Las Citas clinic and will be presented to the judge, to take into consideration that there is already a procedure before the clinic,” he said.
