The Public Ministry maintains that the suspended regional governor of Callao, Ciro Castillo Rojo, now a fugitive, enabled a secret exit from his office to a garage. Your lawyer, Humberto Abanto, He mocked the thesis: “Where is he going to escape? To Jorge Chávez? He would only wander around in the same building.” Meanwhile, the hearing on the preventive detention request against Ciro Castillo Rojo and others investigated for the crime of criminal organization.
The story of Ciro Castillo Rojo in the Regional Government of Callao adds up to a chapter that seems taken from a series of spies, but with the seal of our local politics. During the hearing where they request 36 months of preventive detention Against him, the Prosecutor’s Office reported that Ciro Castillo had ordered the construction of a kind of “escape door” to evade justice.
Prosecutor Wils González reported that, during an inspection carried out on December 23, the authorities discovered a breach and a clandestine connection that directly linked the governor’s office with a vehicle garage.
According to the tax thesis, this work would have been carried out clandestinely, between 5 and 7 at night, and lacks technical or administrative documentation to support it. For investigators, this access was not an ordinary remodeling, but rather a “quick exit” route for possible operations.
Secret route or exit to the passage?
As expected, the defense did not remain silent. Lawyer Humberto Abanto tried to dismiss the tax argument by ensuring that his client did not even use said office, because knee osteoarthritis forced him to work on the first floor of another building.
Abanto resorted to mockery to question the usefulness of the forado: “Where do you think that forado leads? To a secret tunnel that connects with the take-off runway of the Jorge Chávez airport?” he questioned before the magistrate.
According to the lawyer, this connection only leads to an internal area of the same regional headquarters. “Where would he escape? He would be wandering around within the same facilities,” he added.
Despite the defense’s questions, the situation at Castillo Rojo is critical. He is being investigated for criminal organization and aggravated collusion in the ‘Los Socios del Callao’ case. The Public Ministry insists that the danger of escape is real, especially because the governor has been missing since December 15, the date on which his preliminary arrest was issued and his home was searched.
