Overview

  • The Ministerio Público released driver Benjamín Rojas Huamán after 48 hours and requested comparecencia con restricciones, including a ban on leaving his locality and monthly court check-ins.
  • Prosecutors asked for a S/20,000 caución to guarantee his appearance and potential compensation to the family.
  • The armored truck was embargoed by inscription as authorities move to preserve assets linked to the case.
  • The Fiscalía also sought to add Hermes, the vehicle’s owner, as a third civilly liable party for potential reparations.
  • Early findings assign primary causation to the toddler’s sudden entry into the truck’s path and note a contributory failure by the driver, with GPS data, camera footage and damage forensics still pending.
