Sarratea House Owner Seeks to Dismiss Criminal-Organization Charge Ahead of Dec. 2 Hearing

A Dec. 2 virtual hearing will determine whether the criminal-organization count is removed.

Overview

  • Alejandro Sánchez asked the judiciary to archive the criminal-organization charge in the 'Asesores en la Sombra' case.
  • His lawyers filed an excepción de improcedencia de acción, arguing the alleged facts are manifestly atypical for that offense.
  • Judge Margarita Salcedo Guevara scheduled a virtual session for Tuesday, Dec. 2 at 3 p.m. to evaluate the motion.
  • Prosecutors maintain that a network coordinated illicit decisions from the Pasaje Sarratea residence during the Castillo administration.
  • Sánchez remains in custody and is also under investigation for alleged influence peddling and collusion, which would continue even if the organization count is dropped.
