Overview
- INPE confirmed Martina Hernández De la Cruz was admitted to the Anexo Mujeres de Chorrillos facility after the Puente Piedra–Ventanilla appeals chamber revoked her house arrest.
- Prosecutors cited the seizure of dynamite cartridges, red fuses and cash at her home, supported by forensic tests that detected nitrates on her hands.
- Financial intelligence reports flagged more than S/100,000 in unexplained movements, with payment devices and documents suggesting a money-handling role for the network.
- The ruling responds to the Organized Crime Prosecutor’s appeal seeking stricter measures in the case tied to Los Injertos del Cono Norte, which is accused of extortion and explosive attacks.
- Defense arguments referencing health issues and alternative explanations for the money and residues were rejected as judges prioritized preventing flight or evidence interference during ongoing diligences.
