Overview

• Peru’s judiciary set an in-person, non-postponable virtual control de acusación hearing for October 27 before Judge Leodán Cristóbal Ayala to decide whether the Gasoducto Sur Peruano case proceeds to oral trial.
• The Lava Jato team’s accusation led by prosecutor Geovana Morí seeks 35-year sentences for Ollanta Humala and Nadine Heredia and includes 23 defendants, with a dossier exceeding 54,000 pages and 11 defense requests for dismissal.
• Humala is serving a 15-year sentence in Barbadillo for a prior money‑laundering conviction, while Heredia resides in Brazil under asylum, providing context to the stakes of the new Gasoducto Sur filing.
• Argentina’s Tribunal Oral Federal Nº7 rejected offers from about 50 business defendants to extinguish prosecution via monetary “reparación integral,” keeping the Causa Cuadernos oral trial set for November 6, with 174 defendants and over 600 witnesses.
• In Spain’s ‘Koldo’ probe, Judge Ismael Moreno ordered a dozen banks and the tax agency to deliver financial and tax records on former officials Isabel Pardo de Vera and Javier Herrero to the Guardia Civil’s UCO, with Anticorrupción’s backing.
