Piura Regional Worker Sentenced to Four-Year Suspended Term for Aggravated Influence Peddling

Prosecutors cited WhatsApp messages with bank vouchers to show she sought money to place a beneficiary on a social‑debt list.

Overview

  • Shirley Ilenia Lombardi Lizano received a four‑year prison sentence suspended for two years with strict conduct rules during the suspension.
  • Lombardi was also barred from holding public office for four years, fined 365 day‑units equivalent to S/3,136 payable within 10 days, and ordered to pay S/2,000 in civil reparation.
  • The case centers on a December 2023 solicitation of S/1,000 from a citizen to secure her father’s inclusion in a social‑debt payment program, with deposits made in two parts via a mobile app.
  • Trial evidence included declarations, payment vouchers, bank deposit records, and WhatsApp chats in which the money was said to be shared with alleged intermediaries identified as G.L. and V.J.C.
  • Adjunct prosecutor José Aurelio Jiménez Moscol led the case for the Piura Anti‑Corruption office, which framed the ruling as enforcement against misuse of public positions, and no prosecutions of the alleged intermediaries were reported.
