New Messages Allege Santiváñez Link to Constitutional Court Insider in ‘El Diablo’ Case

The assistant named in the chats and Magistrate Gustavo Gutiérrez Ticse have publicly denied any illicit ties.

Overview

  • Panorama published a WhatsApp screenshot that Santiváñez allegedly forwarded identifying “Kenita” as an internal contact and saying the case was on the next hearing list.
  • The family of Miguel Marcelo Salirrosas provided transfer receipts totaling US$20,000 said to have been requested for “external advisors,” in addition to S/20,000 in legal fees.
  • Kenita Jaque de la Cruz confirmed she has worked in Sala 2 of the Constitutional Court since January 2024 but rejected being any nexus and said she has never spoken with Santiváñez.
  • Magistrate Gustavo Gutiérrez Ticse denied interference and told prosecutors he does not know Santiváñez, as earlier audios attributed to the ex-minister—one reportedly validated by a forensic analysis—circulated naming him.
  • The Constitutional Court ultimately declared the habeas corpus unfounded and confirmed the 27-year sentence, and reports say prosecutors are reviewing the allegations after receiving statements.
