Overview
- The Fourth Collegiate Court declined to admit the exceptional evidence proposed by both the prosecution and the defense, moving the case into closing arguments on Nov. 13 at 8:30 a.m.
- A sentencing decision is expected by late November after the parties’ arguments, with the date for Vizcarra’s final statement still to be set.
- Prosecutor Germán Juárez had sought to add seven documents indicating direct involvement in bidding and meetings with UNOPS, which the defense opposed as late and prejudicial.
- The indictment centers on S/2.3 million in alleged bribes: S/1.3 million tied to the Moquegua hospital contract with ICCGSA and S/1 million linked to the Lomas de Ilo project with Obrainsa.
- The Supreme Court rejected Vizcarra’s cassation appeal, and the case rests on cooperating-witness and company executive testimony as the Fiscalía pursues a 15-year term for passive bribery.
