On April 15, the Judiciary decided to sentence, in the first instance, 15 years in effective prison to former president Ollanta Humala and former First Lady, Nadine Heredia, for irregular income of money in the 2006 and 2011 campaigns, from Venezuela and the Brazilian company Odebrecht for their electoral campaigns.
One of the points to analyze is that it is not very usual for effective detention. Ollanta Humala is today in Barbadillo, while Nadine Heredia managed to receive political asylum in Brazil and today is in Sao Paulo.
In that sense, the criminal lawyer Luis Lamas Puccio was consulted by Peru21 about the effective arrests after the judgment of the Judiciary against the presidential ex -partner.
“I imagine that the appeal is going to file once the entire content of the sentence is notified, because it is necessary to specify in a textual and objective way what are the grievances that would have been generated with the sentence,” the lawyer said first.
“Article 402 of the Criminal Procedure Code establishes that when it comes to a conviction, even with an effective sentence, the arrest is immediately made, it is a provisional detention until, obviously, the second instance confirms or revokes this sentence,” he said.
In that sense, he said that some convicted have resorted to political asylum to prevent them from being convicted and argue that it is a political persecution.
“I imagine that the defenses are going to file a appeal of habeas corpus to revoke this arrest until the Superior Chamber notifies the sentence, it is an issue that is about to be discussed,” he said.
