Miss Perú Faces Fraud Claim Over La Libertad Crown as Newton Refers Case to Local Director

Magaly Venegas asserts the title for Thalía Vera is valid following a trademark challenge raised by Eder Peláez.

Overview

  • Thalía Vera went on national TV on Oct. 30 to accuse the Miss Perú organization of a presumed fraud tied to her Miss Región La Libertad coronation.
  • Vera says Eder Peláez told her he holds the 'Miss Libertad' trademark at Indecopi, called her coronation a fraud, and threatened legal action.
  • A key contention is the sash wording, with Peláez insisting it should state 'Miss Perú Región La Libertad' instead of 'Miss Región La Libertad'.
  • Jessica Newton responded that the La Libertad franchise falls under local director Magaly Venegas and referred inquiries to her.
  • Venegas defended the title’s legitimacy and denied any parallel director, while Vera says support was withdrawn after a viral interview and no formal lawsuit has been reported.
