Overview
- Investigators say AS Producciones, tied to Adam Smith Lucano Cotrina, fronted events such as a March 2023 Agua Marina show in Carabayllo, with artists unaware of the funding source.
- Records cited by the reports indicate profits were justified through beer sales via Cerlimas and portable toilet rentals by SK & J and Baños Portátiles SKJ, firms linked to Edwin “Pipo” Díaz Vila.
- Municipal ties documented include Carabayllo’s June 2023 anniversary organized by AS Producciones and the Comas mayor’s 2023 birthday featuring SK & J, with ONPE showing a S/1,000 campaign contribution by Díaz Vila.
- Transparency portals list SK & J payments of S/7,590 from Comas in 2023 and S/16,800 in 2024–2025, aligning with media tallies of more than S/24,000 under the current municipal administration.
- Early October arrests included Lucano Cotrina along with Glenn Montes Malaver and Díaz Vila, as prosecutors identify more than a dozen suspects and review links to violent incidents reported in the music circuit.
