Overview
- The Permanent Criminal Chamber declared Hurtado’s appeal admissible and will set a date for a virtual hearing to evaluate the challenge.
- The appeal contests Judge Juan Carlos Checkley’s August 12, 2025 decision that rejected an exception of lack of action and kept the case moving forward.
- Hurtado seeks definitive dismissal of three alleged acts and the annulment of any records, arguing there is no ‘chain’ influence peddling and that necessary imputation standards were not met.
- He remains in pretrial detention at Lurigancho under an 18‑month preventive custody order tied to the Supreme Prosecutor’s investigation.
- Parallel inquiries continue, including a specific active bribery probe over an alleged payment involving businessman Javier Miu Lei and a separate Anticorruption case over a 2019 Migraciones procedure for footballer Roberto Siucho.
