Overview

• The Congress's Public Prosecutor submitted the appeal on October 3, signed by Manuel Eduardo Peña Tavera, to the Second Temporary Constitutional Court of Lima.
• Judge Alexis Anicama had ordered Congress to grant Castillo a lifetime pension retroactive to December 8, 2022, with associated benefits.
• Congress argues the ruling contains legal errors, harms the Legislature, and that pending constitutional accusations bar the benefit under Law No. 26519.
• If the judge admits the appeal, the case would move to a Lima constitutional chamber for a virtual hearing with the parties.
• The judge based his order on equal treatment, citing a comparable pension case linked to Alberto Fujimori, while Castillo remains in preventive detention at Barbadillo.
