Arequipa Court Sentences Punta de Bombón Mayor and Two Officials to Six Years for Aggravated Collusion

The ruling takes effect only after consent or a final ejecutoriada declaration.

Overview

  • Judge Eddy Leva Cascamayta issued six-year prison terms to Mayor José Miguel Ramos (also cited as Ramos Carrera), Elvis Telles Turpo, and Jesús Zúñiga Quiroz for an irregular procurement scheme.
  • The case centers on a 2018 purchase of cleaning supplies for S/29,379 that was later covered by a retroactive selection process to regularize the acquisition.
  • The court ordered inhabilitación from holding public office for the same six-year period as the custodial sentences.
  • The defendants must pay S/15,946 in civil reparations to the Peruvian state as part of the sentence.
  • Until the judgment becomes final, the mayor remains in office, and a separate July 3 ruling in a related case also imposed a six-year term for incompatible negotiation and peculado de uso.
