The Permanent Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court declared inadmissible the appeal filed by the Prosecutor against the sentence issued in October 2019 by the Court of Junín to the former governor Vladimir Cerron for the crime of incompatible negotiation to the detriment of the State.
It should be noted that, in November 2020, the Supreme Court also declared inadmissible the cassation appeal of Cerro Rojas that raised the annulment of the aforementioned conviction that established four years of suspended prison against him.
With this appeal, the superior anti-corruption prosecutor of Junín, Ramón Vallejos Odría, claimed that the four-year suspended sentence is increased that was imposed in 2019 on the leader of the party Free Peru.
On August 5, 2019, the Fifth Supraprovincial Unipersonal Criminal Court Specialized in Corruption Crimes of Officials of Huancayo sentenced Vladimir Cerronfor his performance in the position of Regional Governor of Junín and others, for incompatible negotiation to the detriment of the State.
At that time, he imposed on each four years and eight months of imprisonment (effective sentence), one year of disqualification and the solidarity payment of S/ 850 thousand for civil compensation.
Cerrón was found guilty for issuing Letter No. 117-2011-GRJ/PR, on December 15, 2011, requesting the Organization of Ibero-American States (OEI) the payment of higher general expenses (S/ 850 thousand) in favor of a contractor company in charge of executing a sanitation work in La Oroya.
However, on October 18, 2019, the Transitory Criminal Appeals Chamber of the Superior Court of Junín revoked the effective sentence and reduced the sentence to four years suspended sentence.
The prosecution appealed the decision and after several complaints and appeals, in August 2020 the Public Ministry finally managed to get the Supreme Court to order the Superior Court of Justice of Junín to raise the file to review the case.
However, the file was only raised almost a year later, on June 11, 2021, and eight months later the rating date of the appeal was scheduled for March 2022.
The prosecution sought an adequate analysis of the proportionality of the sentence imposed on Vladimir Cerronsince he considers that the Junín Transitory Criminal Court of Appeals did not take into account his status as a public official when reducing his sentence.
