Except for Zamir Villaverde García, until now the financiers of the campaign peter castle submitted to the Special Team of Prosecutors against the Corruption of Power are provincial, and in some cases, countrymen of the head of state, such as Salatiel Marrufo Alcántara, Nenil Medina Guerrero, Segundo Sánchez Sánchez, Abel Cabrera Fernández and Daniel Obregón Flores. All are detained, except one, who is a fugitive. Most are part of the so-called “shadow cabinet”. Now the case has taken a turn and reaches businessmen based in Lima.
It is the same scheme. Businessmen and women who invest in the campaigns of politicians who, if they win the elections, claim compensation through contracts with the State, adjudications of public works or festination of procedures to access state properties. Effective collaborators and protected witnesses, who worked in the Ministry of Housing and Construction and in the Superintendency of Assets, have indicated that they were pressured, on behalf of President Castillo, to favor the Marka Group company linked to businessmen and partners Fernando Pazos Huayamares and Sada Goray Chong.
Neither Pazos nor Goray appear as contributors to Pedro Castillo’s campaign in the records of the National Office for Electoral Processes (ONPE), but witnesses have told authorities that former Housing Minister Geiner Alvarado and his former chief of staff Salatiel marrufo They indicated that they received orders to meet the demands of Marka Group, a real estate company related to businessmen Fernando Pazos and Sada Goray.
Unlike Sada Goray, Fernando Pazos has so far not appeared related to three cases in charge of the Special Team of Prosecutors against the Corruption of Power:
a) The real estate application Marka Group what for the MiVivienda Fund would allow it to grant mortgage loans without supervision of the Superintendence of Banking and Insurance (SBS).
b) Marka Group’s request that the MiVivienda Fund give it the approval of a trust scheme for three projects of the Techo Propio program.
c) The request of Sada Goray, supposedly in a personal capacity -despite the fact that he was manager of Marka Group-, so that the Superintendency of National Assets (SBN) recognizes that more than 90 hectares do not belong to the State in the Pampa Los Perros sector, in Chilca, because, presumably, they are superimposed on private property.
After what several officials who opposed these requirements and the government replaced them with more accessible oneson September 15 and October 18, 2021, and on April 6, 2022, Marka Group and Sada Goray received the green light for their three applications.
The effective collaborators and protected witnesses in this case have stated that they were pressured to define the requests for the benefit of Marka Group and Sada Goray because it was President Castillo’s request.
“Salatiel Marrufo looked for the deputy minister (Añaños) in her office and explained that it was important to see this issue (from Marka Group)since they were favors that the president of the republic had to fulfill, ”said former Vice Minister of Housing Elizabeth Añaños.
The former director of State Heritage Management of the SBN William de la Vega Villanes declared to the Sunday newspaper Cuarto Poder that he was fired after rejecting Sada Goray’s request for the land of Chilca. Goray would later sell the property for US$47 million to the Romero Group’s Centenario real estate company.
To support your decision for the benefit of Sada Goray, the SBN hired an “external consultant” to the lawyer Flor Olivera Orellana, partner of Fernando Pazos and Sada Goray, who agreed with him. The perfect circle.
They don’t know anything, but they have the same address
Fernando Pazos Huaymares stated that does not own Marka Group, but did finance some of Sada Goray Chong’s projects. He denied having contributed to Castillo’s campaign.
Through a representative, Sada Goray denied having financed Castillo’s campaign. He said that the management of the Chilca land was “personal.”
Flor Olivera, hired by the SBN as “external consultant” and who approved giving the state land to Goray, works in the same direction as Fernando Pazos and Sada Goray.
