His lawyer, Carlos Kauffmann, assured that the decision is due to the preventive detention issued against his client.

“With that attitude, they close any Barata participation that could help them,” he told Agencia EFE. In addition, he pointed out that the arrest order issued by the Peruvian justice system is a “violation” of the bilateral cooperation treaty between Brazil and Peru in the Lava Jato Case.

Likewise, the lawyer announced that they will seek to annul the measure issued against the former director. In addition, he indicated that the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and Interpol will be appealed to seek to prevent Barata from being arrested.

Kauffmann indicated that they will also appeal to the Supreme Court of Brazil so that it annuls the judicial cooperation agreement for the Lava Jato case. In that sense, he indicated that the South American giant offered to provide evidence about Odebrecht, as long as this is not used against Brazilians who collaborate with justice.

Preventive detention against Barata

As recalled, the Judiciary issued 36 months of preventive detention against Jorge Barata for the Gaseoducto Sur Peruano case, which involves former President Ollanta Humala and his wife Nadine Heredia.

The Public Ministry based its request on the “strong suspicion about the alleged participation of the investigated person (…) in the six acts of alleged aggravated collusion in the context of public investment projects, known as the Kuntur Project and the Gasoducto Project.”

“The collusive pact entered into between the accused on behalf of the company Odebrecht with Ollanta Humala and Nadine Heredia, these in their role as presidential couple and senior public official, would have materialized with the purpose of defrauding the State of assets for the benefit of private interests.” , indicated the prosecutor’s request.
