Judge Johnny Gómez convened for tomorrow at 3:00 pm the hearing in which he will evaluate the request for preventive detention for 36 months against the former PNP general commander, javier gallardoand others for the alleged payment of bribes for general promotions.
Prosecutor Luis Martínez, a member of the special team led by superior prosecutor Marita Barreto, requested the same measure for General Luis Legua, non-commissioned officer Jorge Tarrillo and Major PNP (r) Luis Tuesta. All serve preliminary detention.
As Peru21 reported todayMartínez established that Gallardo collected US$40,000 in bribes from PNP generals Max García, Pedro Villanueva and Luis Legua through the largest PNP (r) Luis Tuesta and businessman Óscar Monge.
The former Chief of Police, in turn, provided the current former Head of State with the list of colonels to be promoted. But that is not all.
In this new stage of the investigation, the Prosecutor’s Office included former presidential secretary Bruno Pacheco as investigated, the same one who pointed out Jorge Tarrillo, who was Castillo’s escort, of being in charge of collecting in 2021 the illicit money from the then colonels who seek to be promoted to general.
The Public Ministry managed to establish that four PNP generals each gave US$20,000 to Tarrillo -which were actually for Castillo Terrones- in exchange for being promoted.
According to the investigation, those generals are Eginardo Pérez Chávez, Fredy del Carpio León, Edward Espinoza López and Enrique Goicochea Chunga.
