Overview

  • Prison agents intercepted Rubén Víctor Reynoso Gonzales during entry screening at the Arequipa men’s facility after spotting irregularities in one of two wristwatches he carried.
  • Officers opened the watch and found 55 SIM cards from various mobile operators concealed inside the casing.
  • The prohibited items were confiscated, and INPE notified the Public Ministry and the National Police for the formal recording of the intervention.
  • Reporting identifies Reynoso as a teacher at the Centro de Educación Técnico Productiva associated with the prison.
  • INPE emphasized that such contraband enables extortion and other crimes from inside prisons and reiterated ongoing security measures, noting that Law 29867 sets multi‑year prison terms for introducing communication equipment.
