Overview

  • Prosecutor Germán Juárez alleges S/2.3 million in illicit payments tied to the Lomas de Ilo and Moquegua Hospital projects and seeks a 15‑year prison sentence for cohecho.
  • The state’s civil attorney demands more than S/4.6 million in reparations, with S/2.07 million linked to Lomas de Ilo and S/2.6 million to the hospital project.
  • The Cuarto Juzgado Colegiado began closing arguments at 8:30 a.m., allotting 90 minutes each to the prosecution, the state’s counsel, and the defense.
  • Vizcarra denies the accusations, arguing there is no direct evidence of illicit payments and characterizing the case as politically driven.
  • The court previously rejected an annulment bid by the defense, and the verdict is expected in the weeks following the Nov. 20 proceedings.
