Peru Court Lifts Restrictions on Keiko Fujimori, Citing 36‑Month Limit

The ruling applies the 36‑month cap in Ley 32130, leaving only a S/70,000 bond in place as the prosecution’s 35‑year accusation proceeds.

Overview

  • Judge Wilson Verástegui declared the comparecencia con restricciones imposed on April 30, 2020 caducated and replaced it with comparecencia simple.
  • The decision relies on Ley 32130, which caps such restrictive measures at 36 months in organized‑crime cases, a period the court said was long exceeded.
  • The S/70,000 caución remains as a patrimonial guarantee and is not a personal coercive measure, with any return contingent on the case’s final resolution.
  • In the virtual hearing, the fiscal adjunta Paulina Roque, the state procuraduría representative, and defense attorney Giuliana Loza stated their agreement with the resolution.
  • Substantive proceedings continue after prosecutor José Domingo Pérez’s renewed July 2 accusation seeking 35 years, and separate Constitutional Court deliberations reported by outlets could affect the case, with outcomes still pending.
