Overview
- The specialized human-rights office led by prosecutor Marita Barreto formalized a preparatory investigation for aggravated homicide and forced disappearance classified as crimes against humanity.
- The case also names former soldiers Tobías Huaringa, Nicanor Guerra, Amílcar Gómez, and Russel Vela, who allegedly operated under Humala at Batallón Contrasubversivo 313.
- Forensic work identified the remains of Edgardo Isla and Nemer Acuña from June 1992, while the disappearances of Luis Izaguirre, Nelson Hoyos, Hermes Estela, and Yander Leandro are under review.
- Prosecutors set an eight-month timetable through May 2026 for witness statements, information requests to the Defense Ministry, and other investigative steps.
- The Supreme Court shelved the matter in 2009 for lack of proof, but new evidence prompted its revival as Humala serves a 15-year Odebrecht-related sentence.
