Security Footage Airs as Producer Files Criminal Complaint Against Gustavo Salcedo Over Lima Assault

Legal analysts say prosecutors could pursue multiple charges based on the broadcast evidence.

Overview

  • Security-camera videos broadcast on América Hoy show a gray SUV striking Christian Rodríguez’s car in San Isidro on Sept. 26 before a man identified as Gustavo Salcedo punches and kicks him on the street.
  • Rodríguez’s attorney, Gabriela Navarro, confirmed a formal criminal complaint against Salcedo that cites the alleged assault and earlier harassment.
  • A police report details months of alleged hostigamiento, including messages threatening to “llenar de plomo,” with incidents recorded from March through September involving the victim and his family.
  • Rodríguez sustained a head wound that required stitches and remains under medical observation, with his lawyer noting pre-existing chronic conditions that could worsen the harm.
  • Salcedo has avoided a full public account, saying “Bien merecido” on TV; Maju Mantilla condemned the violence and said she is pursuing a conciliatory plan for their children, while legal experts outlined potential multi-count charges that could exceed 13 years in prison.
