As a consequence of this, the former director has received a sentence that prohibits him from contracting with the Peruvian State for five years. Likewise, he must pay a civil compensation of approximately S / 40 million for the damages caused to the country by his crimes.
According to the clauses established in the agreement, the total cancellation of the civil reparation payment will be made within a period of 60 days after the ruling that has approved the agreement is issued.
It should be noted that the payment that Graña Miró Quesada will make will be in addition to the close to S/ 500 million that the company Aenza (formerly Graña y Montero) will pay, in response to the effective collaboration agreement that this company signed with the Attorney General’s Office and the Special Team of the Public Ministry, which was presented to the Judiciary in September of last year and is awaiting its approval.
“Once Mr. José Graña’s payment has been made, we will be facing the highest civil compensation that has been collected so far from a natural person for corruption crimes in Peru,” said the attorney for the Lava Jato case, Silvana Carrión Ordinola.
“This collaboration is highly relevant in criminal matters because it strengthens the investigations in several important processes, especially in three cases that already have a prosecution, where Mr. Graña will have to give his testimony soon in the oral trials,” said the State’s attorney. .
