Overview

• Peru’s Supreme Preparatory Court imposed nine months of preventive detention and ordered Maita held at the Chorrillos women’s prison.
• The PNP arrested her around September 10 after more than two decades on the run, following a 2003 declaration as reo contumaz.
• The anti‑corruption prosecutor’s office is investigating alleged illicit association and passive bribery tied to efforts to influence prosecutors and judges in the 1990s.
• The case file cites faxes attributed to Maita seeking SIN payments, entries in Vladimiro Montesinos’s agendas, and testimony from former SIN staff and drivers about cash deliveries.
• Maita denies the allegations, challenges the authenticity of key documents, seeks to face proceedings from home due to health and age, and faces a prosecutorial request of up to 20 years in prison.
