Overview

  • The Fiscalía Supraprovincial formalized the delivery through an acta de diligencia to attorney Erasmo Reyna at the First Office in Lima, with prosecutors Dennier Villanueva and Luis Arturo Loayza present.
  • Both Samsung devices were verified by IMEI and serial numbers, with sealed envelopes opened and photographs taken to document the chain of custody.
  • The phones were seized on April 17, 2019 during an early-morning raid at García’s Miraflores home as part of the Odebrecht investigations tied to Lima Metro Line 1.
  • Trome reports that the forensic office could not fully access the contents due to a lack of specialized software, and that on that basis the items were deemed non-probative for return under the Criminal Procedure Code.
  • According to Trome, the resolution ordering restitution was signed by prosecutor José Domingo Pérez and communicated on September 9, with notice to all parties including the ad hoc Procuraduría for the Odebrecht case.
