Next Friday, November 8, the Permanent Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice will issue the final ruling against Michael Urtecho and his wife Claudia Gonzales for cutting salaries for workers in the former legislator’s office.
Both were sentenced in August of last year by the Special Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court. In Urtecho’s case the sentence was 22 years and five months in prison, while his wife was sentenced to 28 years in prison.
On that occasion, the Chamber chaired by Víctor Prado Saldarriaga concluded that Urtecho incurred the crime of concussion to the detriment of four of his former employees and illicit enrichment to the detriment of the State, imposing on him the payment of civil compensation of 2 million 407 thousand 990 soles.
Gonzales, for the crimes of concussion and embezzlement by extension as well as illicit enrichment, was imposed civil reparation of 100 thousand soles. Additionally, both must pay jointly S/630,666.06.
Urtecho, it is recalled, was denounced in 2013 by three employees of his office, who accused him of cutting their salaries by forcing them to hand over their bank account cards. They also pointed out that it was the wife of the then parliamentarian who was in charge of withdrawing the money from the accounts.
Due to this case, in 2013, the then National Solidarity legislator was suspended from his duties by the Congress of the Republic for 120 days and then dismissed and disqualified from holding public office for a period of 10 years.
