Overview
- The Transitory First Criminal Appeals Chamber of Lima Norte confirmed the sentence and ordered the immediate location and capture of Ulises Villegas.
- The municipal agreement formalizes the suspension and tasks the Information Technology Office with publishing the decision on the district's website.
- The case stems from a 2017 public works contract awarded to UDEL Group, with prosecutors alleging officials approved an incomplete project that harmed the State.
- Several former officials tied to the Independencia district received criminal sentences, five‑year disqualifications from public service or state contracting, and fines.
- The suspension remains in force as the judicial ruling is executed, and Acuña Jara assumes the mayoral duties during this period.
