The first lady, Lilia Paredes, did not appear this Monday, October 10, at the hearing requesting an impediment to leave the country for 36 months requested by the Public Ministry. However, her lawyer Benji Espinoza is found. Paredes is being investigated for the alleged crime of criminal organization.
Rescheduling and Rescheduling
On September 29, the session was suspended at the request of Paredes Navarro’s legal defense, headed by Benji Espinoza, who requested that it be rescheduled.
The prosecutorial team against the corruption of power requests the same measure of impediment to exit against Walter and David Paredes Navarro, brothers of the wife of President Pedro Castillo, as well as for the businessman Hugo Espino, who accepted the sincere confession and already offers his testimony about the alleged criminal organization that would be led by the head of state.
The hearing takes place when the younger sister of Lilia Paredes, Yenifer Paredes, is serving 30 months in preventive detention for the investigation that follows her for the same crime.
According to the thesis of the Public Ministry, Lilia Paredes would be the coordinator of the criminal network and both the president of the illegal procedures for the delivery of public works.
Last week, the first lady accompanied the president to the United States in his participation in the United Nations Assembly, despite the fact that the impediment request had not been resolved.
