Overview

• An acta from the Miraflores police station, made public by Epicentro TV, classifies the June 29 death as a suicide following a preliminary review.
• Police report that Castro’s father found him in the bathroom of his Miraflores home with a deep neck wound and that the scene showed no signs of struggle or forced entry.
• The document states there were no criminal indications, supporting the conclusion that no other person participated in the death.
• A retrospective psychological autopsy cited severe emotional distress associated with judicial proceedings and personal pressure as factors in the act.
• Castro, identified as “Budián” in Jorge Barata’s testimony and a former Lima municipal manager under Susana Villarán, was pursuing a collaboration deal, so his death removes a potential witness in the Odebrecht–OAS investigations.
