The prosecutor Karla Zecenarro questioned the businessman this morning Zamir Villaverdedetained in the Ancón I prison while being investigated for the case Tarata Bridge.
Julio Rodríguez, Villaverde’s lawyer, told Willax tonight that the procedure lasted for about eight hours. Likewise, he maintained that his sponsor answered the questions “regarding everything that was charged in the request for preventive detention.”
However, Rodríguez did not provide details about the interrogation, arguing that “it was of a reserved nature.”
Zecenarro had gone to prison yesterday after the suspect reported to the Congressional Oversight Commission that he was receiving death threats.
The Public Ministry accuses the accused of being part of a criminal organization that became entrenched in the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) to distribute works and jobs.
According to lobbyist Karelim López, Villaverde García acted with the nephews of President Pedro Castillo, offering MTC projects to companies. One of them would have been Termirex, the company of the Pasapera family that was part of the consortium that was awarded the Puente Tarata project in the San Martín region.

In this case, Fray Vásquez and Gian Marco Castillo, nephews of the president, are also being investigated. The first is a fugitive, while Castillo Gómez regained his freedom this week after a court revoked the preventive detention order against him for appearing with restrictions.
Another of those investigated is former presidential secretary Bruno Pacheco, who, like Vásquez, is missing. The former Minister of Transport, Juan Silva, has also been included in an investigation, but this is in charge of the Nation’s prosecutor, Pablo Sánchez.
