Overview
- A virtual hearing at 9:00 a.m. by the Supreme Court’s Permanent Criminal Chamber, led by Justice César San Martín, is reviewing the case.
- The appeal challenges a March 21 ruling that found the former Congress president guilty of embezzlement and imposed eight years in prison.
- The original judgment also ordered five years of disqualification from public office, a 360-day fine, and S/119,577 in civil reparations.
- Prosecutors allege he appropriated funds designated for congressional representation weeks in November–December 2017 and January–March 2018 that, according to the Fiscalía, did not occur.
- The sentence remains suspended pending final resolution as Salaverry complies with conduct measures, and the court is expected to issue a decision in the coming days.
