Overview
- Judge Juan Carlos Checkley replaced Peralta’s 18‑month preventive detention with restricted release through a court-ordered review of the earlier measure.
- The order bars her from leaving Lima without authorization, requires biometric check-ins every 30 days, prohibits contact with witnesses or co-defendants, and sets a 10,000‑soles bond.
- The ruling notes that founded suspicion regarding the alleged crimes persists and warns that any breach of the rules could restore preventive detention.
- Peralta remains under a preparatory investigation by the Fiscalía Suprema into alleged influence peddling and bribery linked to the recovery of seized gold and other purported pay-for-favor acts supported by declarations, audio and documents.
- Co-defendant Andrés Hurtado, identified as an alleged intermediary in the same probe, stays in Lurigancho prison under a separate preventive detention order valid until March 2026.
