Judge Leodan Cristóbal Ayala scheduled for February 15 the hearing in which he will evaluate the prosecutor’s request for preventive detention against the owner of Peru Libre, Vladimir Cerronfor not paying a security of S/20,000.
A week agothe prosecutor Ángel Astoncóndor, deputy to the Money Laundering prosecutor Richard Rojas Gómez, asked Cristóbal to vary the appearance with restrictions that weigh on Cerrón since he did not comply with the payment issued by court order in November 2022.
On November 25, Judge John Pillaca ordered that the former governor of Junín had a period of 10 days to comply with the order, otherwise that condition could be reverted to preventive detention.
The Prosecutor’s Office accuses Cerrón of using illicit money to finance the proselytizing activities of his political organization and for the presidential campaign of Pedro Castillo in 2021.
According to the investigation, the resources were collected by Los Dinámicos del Centro, a criminal network that established itself in the regional government of Junín to collect quotas from workers and bribes in exchange for handing out certificates from the Directorate of Transportation.
in januarythe Third Criminal Chamber of National Appeals confirmed the rejection of the prosecutor’s request to issue 36 months preventive detention against the former regional governor of Junín.
In that case, the court concluded that there was not enough evidence to consider that Cerrón Rojas would hinder the investigations or flee the country.
