Peru to Move Montesinos and Rebel Leaders to Ancón II as Naval CEREC Shuts in January

INPE says an expiring Navy custody pact triggers the relocation to a civilian site that will reproduce the CEREC’s 24‑hour regime.

Overview

  • INPE formally announced the transfer of high‑profile inmates from the Base Naval del Callao to the maximum‑security Ancón II once the Navy custody agreement lapses in January 2026.
  • The move covers Vladimiro Montesinos, Víctor Polay Campos, Óscar Ramírez Durand (“Feliciano”) and Florindo Flores Hala (“Artemio”).
  • CEREC will close on January 12, 2026, concluding more than three decades of military‑run maximum‑security confinement at the Naval Base.
  • Authorities say Ancón II will replicate the CEREC special regime under DS N°. 024‑2001‑JUS, including 24‑hour surveillance, strict movement controls and isolation.
  • A Constitutional Court resolution unifies Montesinos’s sentences to a 25‑year maximum, projecting his release for June 24, 2026.
