Overview
- From the Barbadillo prison, Humala demanded excarceration as he nears nine months in custody, arguing high-court decisions say campaign contributions from 2006 and 2011 are not money laundering.
- His lawyers filed to revoke the provisional execution of his 15-year sentence, requested an appellate hearing, and pressed for unresolved habeas corpus petitions to be decided.
- Defense attorneys Wilfredo Pedraza and David León said they will return to the Constitutional Court if lower courts do not align with recent rulings.
- Legal specialists caution that the decisions that closed the ‘Cócteles’ case are not automatically binding on other files, so each proceeding must be evaluated on its own record.
- Humala’s defense challenges the evidentiary basis of his conviction, claiming no illicit origin or financial trail was proven and criticizing the use of testimonial accounts and the provisional imprisonment order.
