New audios compromise today Minister of Justice, Juan José Santivañezfor the alleged collection of bribes to influence decisions of the Constitutional Court.
In the disseminated recordings he is heard saying: “Signal, I am moving sky and earth. We are working so that this is not. In this case, this has happened like this because the speaker, unfortunately closed and is an antipolition, so, but we have two magistrates of the TC who are supporting us.”
This adds to the already existing fiscal investigation that links it with alleged collection of coimas to influence decisions of the magistrates.
According to the information published by Peru21 In March, the Santivañez chats revealed coordinations to benefit Miguel Marcelo Outrosas, an expolition sentenced in 2021 for integrating a criminal organization.
Witnesses said before the Prosecutor’s Office that the payments amounted to 20 thousand dollars and were not for “external advisors”, as indicated today in their messages, but for magistrates of the maximum interpreter of the Constitution, in order to favor the aforementioned cash in a legal process.
The investigation also indicates that the coordination were carried out through an intermediary identified as Juan Alfonso Mendoza, whom they called “the cousin.” In messages of messages, Santivañez said that he had already talked with key contacts and that the resolution was practically ready, but that it was not yet published because it was necessary to define details.
He also pointed out that the fees of his study amounted to 20 thousand soles, while the additional payment to the alleged “external advisors” was 20 thousand dollars.
According to the fiscal thesis, this last amount would have been destined for magistrates of the Constitutional Court to ensure a favorable ruling to the lawsuit filed by exitsas.
With the new audios, the situation of the Minister of Justice is placed again in the center of the controversy, while the Public Ministry advances in its investigations for alleged traffic of influences and bribes.
