“Her (karelim lopez) at no time has affirmed any delivery of money, nor have witnessed any illicit action of the president peter castle. He has not presented any concrete evidence against the president.” declared yesterday the lawyer César Nakazaki, interviewed on Radio Programs of Peru.
He also stated that she did not coincide with the president at Sarratea’s house, who does not accuse him of being part of a mafia and that López maintains his declaration of innocence in the cases of the Tarata bridge contracts by the Termirex company and the purchase of biodiesel by Samir Abudayeh’s company.
According to Nakazaki, López welcomes effective collaboration only because he considers that it is “possible” that he has committed a crime of money laundering when receiving a payment from the Pasapera group, in relation to the Tarata case, and that the facts he related to the Prosecutor’s Office were told by Bruno Pacheco.

The Republic has been trying to communicate with Dr. Nakazaki since Friday, February 25, without success. He never answers our calls. Other times he has.
What he has declared to other media is contradictory to the Effective Collaboration Law. It also contradicts the statements that Karelim López offered to the money laundering prosecutor Luz Taquire Reynoso, between February 18 and 24.
In principle, the effective collaboration law is designed to encourage a person who has committed or is about to commit a crime to collaborate with the law. The law does not provide awards for a person who believes he has committed a crime or incriminates himself for a crime. For a person, who under any circumstances knows of an illegal act, without being a party, there are other mechanisms for collaboration with the authorities.

about the president
In recent days, La República has had access to excerpts from Karelim López’s statement, which we transcribe below. A first detail that must be taken into account is that, in a collaborative process, The Prosecutor’s Office does not transcribe the statement verbatim, but, to protect the identity of the collaborator, puts it in the third person.
This is what the prosecutor transcribed from Karelim López’s statement about President Pedro Castillo:
“I know that Sarratea’s house was Pedro Castillo’s office to receive businessmen, that after the meeting they benefited. I know that a businessman for land trafficking also met there, whose name I will reveal later, the same day the official of the Superintendence of National Assets (SBN) also met for an issue related to land certification.

“I know that they met between September and October 2021 in the house of Sarratea to fix an issue of appointment of the directors in the Ministry of Health, where the nephews of Pedro Castillo, President Castillo and others participated (…), people who would have paid 150 thousand per position”.
“I know that Karelim López was present in a discussion between Pedro Castillo and Bruno Pacheco and both claimed, among others, that in September 2021 Alejandro Sánchez, the owner of the house in Sarratea, had a mercury and lithium business. (…) The business was to set up the company and raise the price of mercury”.
“I know that Karelim López was present in a discussion between Pedro Castillo and Bruno Pacheco where they argued and made mutual claims. Castillo complained about the Deltron company and Bruno about the Sunat auctioneer.”

“I know that Karelim López was present at a discussion between Pedro Castillo and Bruno Pacheco and both claimed, among others, that there are 5 Popular Action congressmen called ′Los Niños′, Raúl Doroteo Carbajo, Juan Carlos Mori Celis and 3 other congressmen, whose names I will specify later, (…) are linked to the mafia entrenched in the Ministry of Transport and Communications, linked to the granting of millionaire tenders in the MTC since 2021″.
“This already came from before, from the campaign, where it was agreed with the congressmen related to Pedro Castillo. Likewise, according to Bruno Pacheco, those who helped Pedro Castillo with the campaign theme were ′The Dynamics of the Center′, who were the box of Pedro Castillo’s campaign, and financed Pedro Castillo’s campaign. Also, I know that Yonhy Lescano is an advisor to one of the congressmen of ′Los Niños′”.

“I know that there is a mafia in the MTC made up of President Pedro Castillo Terrones, Minister Juan Silva the Chinese companies Consortium Conservation Vial, Mazocruz (Consortium Vial Engineering Construction Sucursal del Perú) and others, always with the participation of the Peruvian company INIP Ingeniería Integración de Proyectos SAC, made up of Roberto Jesús Aguilar Quispe, approximately 27 years old”.
“He also participates in this mafia Zamir Villaverde Garcia, who is the cashier for the president’s nephews: Fray Vásquez Castillo, Gian Marco Castillo Gómez, Rousbelt Oblitas Paredes and 5 congressmen from Acción Popular, among them Raúl Felipe Doroteo Carbajo and others whom Pedro Castillo and Bruno Pacheco refer to as ′The Children′ because they obey everything the president says, who are winners of millionaire tenders in the MTC since 2021″.
“I know that the relationship between the company INIP Engineering Integration of Projects SAC, made up of Roberto Jesús Aguilar Quispe, is linked to the congressmen of Acción Popular ′Los Niños′, being these who have a connection with Alejandro Felipe Aguilar Quispe, true owner of the company mentioned above, who provided the name of the company so that it has participation with the Chinese companies in the granting of the good pro in the MTC and those who have already been benefited with millionaire contracts”.

“I know that when Pedro Castillo’s government began, the businessman Zamir Villaverde prepared the ground to put the high officials of the MTC, he had the CVs of those who were going to occupy positions in said entity; one of the first that he appointed is the director of Decentralized Providers, I don’t remember the name, but he changed various managers of Decentralized Provías and National Provías. I saw everything with Minister Juan Silva, who is immovable, since he is a close friend of Pedro Castillo.”
“Zamir Villaverde interviewed former managers who worked at the MTC and selected them to see who was suitable for the MTC appointment. Among those managers, I remember the appointment of Alcides Villafuerte, he was a Provías manager for many years, but Zamir Villaverde wanted him to be the president of Provías Nacional, that was in September 2021″.

“After meeting with Minister (Walter) Ayala, Bruno Pacheco returned to his vehicle, where Karelim López was, and he was distressed and told him that Aníbal Torres had offered to take him out of the country so that he would have peace of mind and they could give him asylum in another country.”
“I know that Bruno Pacheco told Karelim López that he had argued with Minister Aníbal Torres about the prosecutor’s complaint, to which Aníbal Torres promised him that they were going to remove the attorney at the time, Daniel Soria.”
Thus, at various times, López involves the president in a mafia. The corroboration and investigations carried out by the Prosecutor’s Office will confirm or rule out this version.

It seeks to attract former secretary Bruno Pacheco to effective collaboration
In some passages of Karelim López’s statement, the Prosecutor’s Office does specify that they are events that the aspiring effective collaborator claims to know from what Bruno Pacheco I would have told him. In others it is evident that López wants Bruno Pacheco to take advantage of effective collaboration, since that would reinforce what she has told.
“Bruno Pacheco told Karelim López to get information from Alexander Felipe Aguilar Quispe. We have to be prepared because I’m not going to harm myself, If at any time they blame me for something, I am going to tell everything, let Pedro Castillo assume his responsibility”.

“On the other hand, it is important to point out that this information, as the effective collaborator has pointed out, arose in circumstances in which Karelim López was meeting with Bruno Pacheco and in which Bruno Pacheco had a telephone discussion with Pedro Castillo on November 9. of 2021, where mutual claims were made, and the subject of a director who complained to him was indicated, because he would have paid 150,000 soles to be given a position at the Ministry of Housing and they would not have complied with it.”

SUNAT
Mercury. Sunat sources denied having favored the companies recommended by former secretary Gustavo Pacheco. The request to increase the volume of mercury imports by one of the companies was denied by Sunat in October. There is no favorable resolution, as affirmed by the aspiring effective collaborator.
Superintendent. They also denied that the appointment of the superintendent of Sunat, Enrique Vera, It is due to an exchange of favors. His appointment was made in September.
