Overview

• Lima constitutional judge Juan Torres declared inadmissible Vladimir Cerrón’s habeas corpus seeking to lift his 24‑month preventive detention in the Peru Libre financing probe, leaving June and July denials in force.
• The Constitutional Court, in Sentencia 162/2025, rejected Eliane Karp’s habeas corpus and maintained her 18‑month preventive detention along with national and international capture orders in the Ecoteva case.
• Cerrón remains a fugitive since October 6, 2023; although the Supreme Court overturned his Aeródromo Wanka conviction in March, the separate preventive detention for alleged illicit campaign funding persists.
• Karp resides in Israel under an active Interpol notice, and the absence of a Peru‑Israel extradition treaty limits immediate options to bring her before Peruvian courts.
• Prosecutors allege Cerrón led a criminal structure inside Perú Libre to illicitly finance campaigns, while Karp faces money‑laundering charges tied to property purchases through Ecoteva.
