Overview

• Authorities relocated Vizcarra overnight to Ancón II, a common prison north of Lima, in a police-escorted convoy shown on national TV.
• The prison agency INPE offered no public rationale for the change from the special facility used for former heads of state.
• Vizcarra, who denies wrongdoing, told RPP radio the move was a political decision and blamed President Dina Boluarte; the presidency did not immediately comment.
• Prosecutors are seeking a 15-year sentence in the bribery case, which includes testimony from two businessmen who say they paid him about $611,000.
• The shift is unprecedented in recent years, as other former presidents—including Pedro Castillo, Alejandro Toledo, and Ollanta Humala—remain in the ex-presidents’ prison.
