Court Orders Second Oral Trial for Martín Vizcarra Over Alleged Collusion in Moquegua Projects

Prosecutors seek a 10-year sentence for collusion, with sentencing in a separate bribery case set for November 26.

Overview

  • Investigating judge Víctor Alcocer concluded accusation control on November 21 and ordered the auto de enjuiciamiento to open oral proceedings.
  • The case centers on the Lomas de Ilo and Moquegua Regional Hospital contracts and alleges coordination with Obrainsa and ICCGSA to defraud the state.
  • Alcocer rejected defense exceptions of prescription, lack of action, and lis pendens, allowing the collusion charge to proceed.
  • The order will be delivered electronically to the parties for trial preparation, while defense attorney Erwin Siccha says second-instance appeals remain pending.
  • In the parallel bribery case, prosecutors allege more than S/2.3 million in payments and the Lava Jato team is seeking 15 years, with the verdict scheduled for November 26.
