Luis Rivera Pérez was sentenced to six years in prison for the crime of incompatible negotiation committed when he held the position of central manager of Aeropuertos Corpac.
The prosecution accused him of irregularities in the contracting of two companies for security services at the Juan Velazco Astete airport and the Acopia Grande radar station in Cusco.
The Judiciary considered that both the resigning Vice Minister of Transportation and another sentenced person, Dhenis Gamth Cabrera Garrido, authorized the contracting of two companies for an amount of S/ 1,761,878.00 and divided the service orders for amounts less than 3 tax units.

To achieve this, the then Corpac workers omitted the process of exoneration due to imminent shortages, in order to illicitly benefit said companies.
