- Telecom providers must provide incoming and outgoing call and text logs, subscriber identities, all lines acquired, device identifiers, IP addresses, locations, and payment modalities.
- Judge Fernando Valdez Pimentel approved the historical-data measure on October 17 at the request of money-laundering prosecutor José Espinoza.
- Prosecutors will conduct technical traffic analysis and data cross-checks to map potential links and may formalize charges if sufficient indications of illicit flows are found.
- Hurtado remains under an 18-month preventive detention after a prior release order was not executed due to another restriction, and his defense plans to challenge the communications order as disproportionate.
