It is an objective situation that will have to continue the corresponding processing”, Indian.
In this sense, Domingo Pérez asserted that Chávarry’s protection of Fujimori meant that the Lava Jato Special Team could not advance quickly, as they had proposed.

Next, the prosecutor explained that Fujimori Higuchi’s defense is going to try to get the case to the Constitutional Court.

Jose Domingo Perez expressed his concern, since one of the new magistrates of the Constitutional Court (TC) is Luis Gutierrez Ticsewho previously revealed his position regarding the accusation against the leader of Fuerza Popular.
“There is a legitimate concern there because one of the magistrates of the TC is Luis Gutiérrez Ticse and he pointed out in 2020 that I am -or was- a government agent. He said in these terms: ‘tomorrow the correlation of power may vary and in this perverse system, it could be said that prosecutor Pérez has organized a criminal event to exonerate Odebrecht‘”, held.
