Antauro Humala is again under scrutiny after deny having carried out craft activities during his time in prison, for which he took advantage of the 7×1 benefit to expedite his release from prison.
The former prisoner not only achieved the reduction of his sentence as a benefit. As reported this Sunday by “Fourth Power”, the brother of the former president and the rest of the inmates obtained the benefit of workshop accreditation despite not having attended them. Thus, the ex-military would have agreed to a total of 162 hours of leather work in the first months of the pandemic.
On this and other tasks in which his signature appears, Antauro Humala asserted that although he had registered in them, as it appears in the INPE forms, had not been part of them. “One thing is what the state bureaucracy establishes on paper. I am not ignoring it, it is my signature, but I never attended, like everyone else in penalties, ”he expressed for Sunday.
Humala Tasso argued that his presence in these courses never happened and added that, on the contrary, he only signed the papers in which his participation was recorded “at some point in the month”.
“Peru is a paper ‘republiqueta’. Everything is done on paper, but nothing exists. I didn’t do those things. Sometime in the month I will have signed those papers in five minutes,” she concluded.
However, this version was confronted by René Cervera, a former teacher at the penitentiary institution in which he was confined, who did remember the presence and performance of Antauro Humala during one of his classes. “He was an intermediate student, I think he lacked a little more motivation. He took the course, but (…) he was more aware of his processes, ”he asserted.
INPE responds
Meanwhile, Omar Méndez Irigoyen, president of the INPE, expressed that —as soon as they became aware of the ex-prisoner’s statements— his office requested the interference of the affairs offices so that this situation is subjected to investigation, in addition to being sent to the Public ministry in order to be submitted to further investigations.
