Prosecutor José Domingo Pérez, a member of the Special Lava Jato team and in charge of the case, told the Republic that he maintains the confidence that the trial against Susana Villarán will be installed on Tuesday. He stressed that, despite the accumulated delays in the intermediate stage, the process has already exceeded all judicial reviews and must continue without further delay.
“We trust that the judges of this collegiate, who already have enough experience, because not only have the cocktails take the case, the Ollanta Humala case, and other cases, can install this judgment tomorrow. For me it is clear to me that this claim that it is not installed must be rejected tomorrow,” he said.
However, he acknowledged that the defense of the former mayor could try to prevent the beginning of the audience, as has happened in other cases linked to Lava Jato. He recalled the precedent of the cocktails, in which entire hours were consumed discussing the installation of the trial.
“It has happened in the other judgments of the cases of Lavas Jato, the defenses have sought that the trial is not installed. Recall the cocktails, in several hours, practically all morning was exhausted because the installation or not of the trial was discussed. Finally, the judges installed the trial,” he said.
