Cerrón Ties Free Surgery for Injured Police Officer to Change in His Detention Status

The conditional pledge shifts attention to alleged abuse of authority under prosecutorial review.

Overview

  • Perú Libre leader and neurosurgeon Vladimir Cerrón offered to operate at no cost on subofficer Roger Quispe only if his judicial condition is revised.
  • Cerrón, who is under a preventive detention order in the Aeródromo Wanka case with appeals rejected, claimed the patient could recover after a cranioplasty and intensive rehabilitation.
  • Quispe, 25, fell about four meters while cleaning a window at the Pamplona II station and underwent an emergency craniectomy at Hospital María Auxiliadora.
  • The family alleges Captain Lisset Quispe ordered a prohibited cleaning task, and the San Juan de Miraflores Prosecutor’s Office opened a criminal investigation for abuse of authority and serious injuries.
  • Relatives say they were initially told it was a traffic accident, a version later contradicted by the Defensoría del Policía, as social media reactions condemned the conditional offer.
