The impact of Bruno Pacheco’s confessions against Pedro Castillo
For the criminal lawyer Mario Amorette, the statements that he has been providing to the team led by the prosecutor Marita Barreto they are forceful. This is demonstrated because “they have changed the preventive detention by house arrest”.
“Bruno Pacheco has stated that he was carrying out Castillo’s orders. In such a way that, if we add to this the affirmations and declarations of Karelim López and Zamir Villaverde, it is because the two prosecutors of the Nation, both Pablo Sánchez and Patricia Benavides, have considered that there are elements of conviction”, he maintained for The Republic.
In that sense, he explained that elements of conviction are considered when “what these collaborators stated at the time was demonstrated and corroborated.” So he considers that the situation of the president castle “It’s getting more and more complicated.”
