Overview
- Anti-graft prosecutors carried out coordinated searches in La Libertad, Áncash and Lima and reported seizing electronic equipment, mobile phones and cash.
- Three suspects — Aníbal Morillo, Jorge Luis Silva and Luis Alejandro Álvarez — were placed in preliminary detention on allegations of organized crime and influence peddling.
- Investigators say Morillo and Silva leveraged health authority contacts to ease sanitary permits for Frigoinca S.A.C., while Álvarez allegedly took bribes to alter reports on meat product volumes.
- The operation included a search order related to the residence of Óscar Acuña Peralta, who is under investigation; he acknowledged receiving money but disputed the sums attributed to him.
- The case remains in the preparatory phase with forensic work by ECIF and testimonial procedures pending, and prosecutors allege the scheme jeopardized the safety of school meals provided by Qali Warma.
