Overview
- The First Superior Criminal Prosecutor’s Office of East Lima rejected Juan José Santiváñez’s appeal and confirmed the definitive closure of the case.
- The office found the monitoring for the TV report “Who Does Santiváñez Meet With at the Palace?” to be professional reporting, describing it as a constitutionally protected “neutral” and “atypical” conduct.
- Authorities said there was no evidence of marcaje or that the journalistic work facilitated any crime, noting the absence of suspicious vehicles, weapons or attack plans.
- Claims of extortion calls were dismissed because Santiváñez provided no call records or messages, with prosecutors labeling the accusation speculative and unsupported.
- The resolution names Mónica Delta, Juan Subauste, Carlos Hidalgo, Jorge Ramírez and José Aguirre as cleared of criminal liability, leaving no case pending against the reporters.
