Overview
- Provisional Supreme Court judge Juan Carlos Checkley approved Juan José Santiváñez’s travel to Bogotá to participate as a speaker at the III International Disciplinary Congress 2025 at Fundación Universitaria San Martín.
- The authorization runs from December 1 to 6 with the exit ban set to be reinstated on December 7 after orders to the National Migration Authority and the Judicial Police.
- Santiváñez must report his return to the judge’s chambers, with a warning that any failure will be communicated to the Public Ministry for appropriate action.
- Prosecutors opposed the request on November 6, citing missing supporting documents, inconsistencies in dates, and no demonstration that his attendance was essential.
- The 18‑month prohibition on leaving Peru, originally imposed by the Supreme Court’s Permanent Criminal Chamber, remains in force as part of an influence‑peddling investigation linked to alleged interventions before the Constitutional Court, INPE, and the Justice Ministry for an ex‑client.
