Overview
- Anti-Corruption Police, working with the Public Ministry, detained Luis Enrique Calla Rodríguez in flagrante on Avenida Parra in central Arequipa.
- Officers recovered S/450 in marked bills during the operation after a merchant reported a demand for S/1,700 to avoid closure, halt an embargo, and expedite procedures.
- According to the complaint, the alleged solicitation followed a December 23 municipal action that blocked access to the 'Mister Cuy' premises in a dispute linked to a 2022 eviction case.
- Dircocor and prosecutors collected execution files, resolutions, contracts, and payroll records from the municipality and began taking statements.
- The Arequipa municipality publicly rejected unlawful conduct, and Mayor Víctor Hugo Rivera ordered Calla Rodríguez’s temporary removal and a Human Resources disciplinary process.
