Overview
- The preliminary case is registered with the Ministerio Público, and the complaint names Colonel Juan Carlos Montúfar and eight Dirincri officers over a November 1 intervention in Huacho.
- Businessman José Antonio Muchaipiña alleges the entry was irregular without a judicial warrant or a prosecutor present, and neighbors reported officers arrived from Lima while the house was unoccupied.
- Muchaipiña claims the cash was hidden in a shoe cabinet inside a black trash bag and says a security camera was removed during the operation, offering vouchers and financial records to support his account.
- Montúfar acknowledges leading the operation, says intelligence indicated suspects were inside after a local triple homicide, reports no arrests, and rejects that such cash existed, calling it a matter for investigators.
- The complainant suggests the raid may have been retaliation for an earlier report he filed against other Dirincri personnel, and no charges have been announced as the inquiry continues.
