Overview
- Ollanta Humala won a habeas corpus after the Primera Sala en lo Constitucional de Lima found his initial April detention violated due process.
- The chamber said the Tercer Juzgado Penal Colegiado Nacional ordered his jailing on an adelanto de fallo instead of a fully written and motivated sentence.
- The ruling labeled the breach irreparable and ordered a formal warning to the responsible court to prevent repeat practices.
- The decision does not free Humala because his current imprisonment is now based on the complete judgment that has been read and notified.
- Humala and his wife, Nadine Heredia, were convicted in April 2025 of aggravated money laundering tied to illicit campaign funds from Odebrecht and the Chávez-era Venezuelan government.
