After the Six months suspension of José Domingo Pérez as prosecutorThe presidency of the Board of Superior Prosecutors of Lima appointed Meryl Huamán as the new person in charge of the Cocktails case, the Lava Jato Special Team Coordinator, Rafael Velato the Republic.
Huamán integrates the Lava Jato team since 2017, an attribute that was fundamental for his choice, Vela explains. “Part of the profile analysis we have based on the fact that the prosecutor was from the beginning of the Lava Jato fiscal team. This is an important factor because it knows the cases and has experience. An important knowledge about the state of the cases. It is already eight years with us,” he said.

Prosecutor Meryl Huamán
In addition, he stressed that because Domingo Pérez suspension It is temporary no place is generated. Therefore, someone from the same team should be appointed.
“There is a judicial mandate of the Constitutional Court that has to execute the judgment of the Constitutional Court of Chlimper Ackerman. He has given the Prosecutor’s Office for 15 days to reformulate the accusation. That is why it was vital to take Pérez so that he does not participate there. Now the reformulation will have to be done by Meryl Huamán,” he said.
He also indicated that this does not guarantee the stability of the case. “There is always the possibility of some change because we are all subject to decisions of the Prosecutor’s Office,” he said.
Fernández Jerí and his “tactics” to suspend prosecutors
Regarding the case of his colleague Domingo Pérez, Vela Barba listed to this medium three consequences that would affect emblematic cases. “Prosecutor Pérez can no longer participate in the reformulation of the fiscal accusation against Keiko Fujimori; he can no longer participate in the allegations of the Metro de Lima case, where members of the APRA are involved; he will not be able to participate in the trial of Susana Villarán. There is a direct affectation to his office because he operated just at this juncture,” he said.
Within that framework, he communicated what is “the tactic of Fernández Jerí and the ANC” to get rid of prosecutors that are uncomfortable.
To do this, he said that the only institution that can dismiss a prosecutor is the National Board of Justice (JNJ). Given this, the ANC of the Prosecutor’s Office would have implemented a “strategy” to get the exit of certain magistrates.
“What they are looking is to suffocate. How do you suffocate you? Viable this strategy for affectation.
