Caso Ícaro: Fiscalía allana oficinas en Lima y Lurín en investigación vinculada al ministro Santiváñez

Overview

  • EFICCOP executed document‑exhibition actions at the Manchay police station, the Seventh Police Region, the Lima East division, the Lurín provincial prosecutor’s office, and Arenera S.A.C.
  • The operation, led by prosecutor Carlos Ordaya López of EFICCOP Team 5, seeks to clarify the role of a Manchay police contingent in a 2024 property recovery in Cieneguilla.
  • According to the Ministerio Público, between 40 and 50 police officers participated in the October 15, 2024 action without a valid court order and some remained on the site overnight.
  • Prosecutors said they obtained relevant information on individuals under review, including former PNP colonel Percy Tenorio, Marco Palacios, Yessenia De La Cruz, Franco Parodi, and Gianfranco Meza.
  • The preliminary case examines suspected organized crime, collusion, bribery, and real concealment, and prosecutors are assessing parallels with the El Dorado allegations; no arrests or convictions have been announced.
