Have passed nine days and the whereabouts of Mayor of Arequipa, Omar Candia, is unknown. Despite the fact that the day after the sentence an open letter was circulated to the population, in which the burgomaster He assured that he was going to turn himself in to Justice, this has not happened until now.
Nobody knows if he has actually escaped —as the Policeman— or if he is still hiding in a relative’s house, or in his own house in Alto Selva Alegre, where more surveillance is carried out by the requisition agentssince he was at that address when his sentence was read.
As soon as the hearing concluded, and his capture was ordered, the Intelligence Police arrived outside the building. Since then, only the entry and exit of workers from the provincial commune, and also their relatives and relatives, have been registered.
However, no type of movement has been spotted Omar Candía. The Police handle the hypothesis that he is still at home, but also does not rule out that he is not in that place. If so, they would have been mocked by the still arequipa mayor.
Last Friday the 25th, the head of the Arequipa Police Region, Colonel PNP Luis Pachecopointed out that immigration controls are on alert to prevent Candia’s escape, but did not specify if there is an express order or only the Police are vigilant. At least in the Santa Rosa de Tacna control, there is no knowledge of the alert.
Under this scenario, nine days have passed since the mayor was sentenced to six years in jail for the crime of aggravated collusion and, despite the arrest warrant, the Police have not yet located him. One difficulty they have is that they cannot enter your home to rule out or confirm a possible leak.
