Records Show Suspect Under Court House-Arrest Order Met Peru’s President, Visited Palace Three Times

Prosecutors say a 24‑month house‑arrest order for Ji Wu Xiaodong was never enforced, prompting scrutiny of how authorities supervised the case.

Overview

  • Ji Wu Xiaodong, investigated as a presumed member of the “Los Hostiles de la Amazonía” illegal logging network, had preventive detention in 2022 later changed to 24 months of house arrest.
  • The businessman entered the presidential palace on Dec. 12 and 29, 2025, and Jan. 5, 2026, with visits logged as work meetings and recorded with specific entry and exit times.
  • A palace communications official said at least one encounter was with President José Jerí and described it as a Chinese meal, while the meetings did not appear on the public agenda.
  • Visitor logs show Ji arrived with businessman Zhihua Yang, and the entries were processed by communications officials Mirelia Cano and Johanna Ocampo.
  • Fiscal sources report the house‑arrest mandate was not executed, and legal specialists say police and prosecutors should have verified and enforced such measures within roughly 72 hours.
