Boluarte Legal Team Weighs Amparo as Courts Schedule Travel-Ban Hearings

Her lawyers argue Congress allowed only 56 minutes for her defense in the vacancia vote.

Overview

  • Congress removed Dina Boluarte from the presidency on October 9 for permanent moral incapacity.
  • Attorney Joseph Campos says he has proposed filing an amparo to challenge the procedure used by Congress, and the decision rests with Boluarte.
  • Campos cites Constitutional Court standards on reasonable time for defense and points to the Vizcarra and Kuczynski cases as precedents, noting two international condemnations in similar situations.
  • The judiciary will hear on Wednesday, October 15, a request to bar her from leaving Peru for 36 months in the ‘Los Dinámicos del Centro’ money-laundering probe.
  • A second hearing is set for Thursday, October 16, on an 18‑month travel restriction related to alleged incompatible negotiation tied to cosmetic surgeries, and lawyer Juan Carlos Portugal says she will not attend the first hearing.
