- The proceeding reached sentencing after a trial that began in October 2024.
- The ruling lifts to four the number of former Peruvian presidents now detained, with Alejandro Toledo and Ollanta Humala jailed for corruption and Pedro Castillo held on rebellion charges.
- Vizcarra became president in 2018 after Pedro Pablo Kuczynski resigned and Congress removed him in 2020 during corruption inquiries.
