The Permanent Commission of Congress of the republic approved today to request the Judiciary to impose an impediment to the ex-ministers from leaving the country Betsy Chavez and Roberto Sanchez before the possibility of evading justice for the investigations that are followed after the coup d’état by Pedro Castillo.
With 18 votes in favor, 3 against and 0 abstentions, this body accepted the request presented by legislator Lady Camones (APP), president of the Subcommittee on Constitutional Accusations, due to the inclusion of both former ministers in the final report prepared by said working group based on the constitutional complaint filed by the Prosecutor’s Office.
Only the Fujimorista Hernando Guerra García, the Perulibrista Jaime Quito and Edgar Reymundo, from Cambio Democrático, opposed this request.
