Overview

• Judge Wilson Verástegui declared the restricted appearance order imposed on April 30, 2020 expired and replaced it with simple appearance during a Sept. 12 hearing.
• The ruling relied on Law 32130, which limits restricted appearance in organized-crime cases to 36 months, a threshold the prior measure had exceeded.
• The 70,000-soles bond remains in force as a patrimonial guarantee and will not be returned at this stage.
• Prosecutor José Domingo Pérez’s July 2 accusation seeking 35 years for aggravated money laundering and related falsity offenses remains active.
