Overview
- The Navy–INPE convention received a final extension to January 12, 2026, when the CEREC at the Base Naval del Callao will cease operations, according to INPE president Iván Paredes.
- Vladimiro Montesinos, Víctor Polay Campos, Óscar Ramírez Durand (“Feliciano”) and Florindo Eleuterio Flores Hala (“Artemio”) are slated for transfer to the maximum-security Ancón II facility.
- INPE says Ancón II is being fitted with dedicated spaces and that security will be redoubled, replicating the CEREC special regime (DS N.º 024-2001-JUS) with 24/7 surveillance and strict controls.
- Officials say further renewal of the Navy custody agreement is not possible and emphasize that planning and facility adaptations are underway, with no transfers executed yet.
- Security and capacity experts caution that implementing a military-grade regime in a civilian prison poses operational risks, while INPE frames the move as a reaffirmation of state authority.
