Peru Comptroller Flags S/92 Million Transfer in Ayacucho Stadium Project as Bolivarian Games Scale Back

The new audit pinpoints an unsecured S/92 million advance to the contractor that is now central to investigations.

Overview

  • The Comptroller found GORE Ayacucho advanced S/92 million without bank guarantees and routed funds meant for a trust to Grupo Pérgola, with part of the money returned 28 days later.
  • The report cites possible administrative and criminal responsibility for 15 officials, including general manager Eduardo Huacoto, as regional authorities have not offered explanations.
  • Despite the budget rising to about S/422 million, construction at the Cuna de la Libertad Americana stadium is only around 18–22% complete and will not be ready for the event.
  • With venues unfinished, organizers have shifted competitions to temporary sites, cut Ayacucho’s slate to roughly five or six sports, and relocated the main opening to the Real Felipe in Callao.
  • The State Attorney’s Office requested preliminary actions in June and prosecutors opened a complex preliminary probe on July 2 with an eight‑month window into alleged collusion.
