The Third National Criminal Appeals Chamber of the National Superior Court of Specialized Criminal Justice declared unfounded the appeal presented by the fugitive’s legal defense Vladimir Cerrón Rojas so that the 24-month preventive detention order against him is annulled.
The Judiciary confirmed in all its aspects the resolution of December 5 of last year in which the request for variation of preventive detention to appear with restrictions of the former regional governor of Junín was declared unfounded.
On that occasion, the Sixth National Preparatory Investigation Court rejected the arguments of the legal defense of the owner of Perú Libre, which indicated that there were new elements of conviction regarding the complaints made against his sponsor for the alleged crimes of criminal organization and money laundering.
Furthermore, in its resolution, it recalled that the accused “does not have privileges that allow him to evade his procedural obligations in the face of final judicial decisions.”
Along these lines, he also specified that the temporary loss of freedom through preventive detention seeks to ensure the proper development of the process and stressed that the measure is protected by current legal regulations.
How many days has Vladimir Cerrón been a fugitive?
Vladimir Cerrón, it is recalled, turns 810 today as a fugitive from justice. He has maintained this situation since October 6, 2023, when he was sentenced for the Wanka Aerodrome case to 3 and a half years in effective prison, but said sentence was annulled by the Supreme Court of Justice in March of last year.
To date, however, he has a preventive detention order in force for 24 months within the framework of a tax investigation process for the alleged crime of money laundering for illegal financing of a political campaign, which would have been committed between the years 2008 and 2021.
According to the Public Ministry, the owner of Perú Libre and today a candidate for the presidency of the Republic for that group would have incurred in irregular operations during the formation and financing of his political group, including the purchase of his party premises and the deposit in his bank accounts of money whose origin could not have been established.
