Overview
- Cerrón, described by outlets as a fugitive and leader of Perú Libre, posted that he would operate on subofficer Roger Quispe at no cost only if his judicial status is changed.
- He asserted there is no irreversible brain damage and said the officer needs a cranioplasty followed by long rehabilitation that could take up to five years.
- Coverage notes a 24‑month preventive detention order for alleged money laundering remains in force, with a court hearing set for November 26 to consider his bid to modify it, after recent appeals were denied and funds were transferred to the state.
- Quispe fell about four meters while cleaning windows at the Pamplona II station without safety gear, a task barred by PNP rules, and underwent an emergency craniectomy; he now has severe neurological deficits.
- Prosecutors opened a criminal probe into the case, the captain who allegedly gave the order faces a complaint for abuse of authority and serious injury, and media reports say the Interior Ministry will assume the officer’s medical expenses.
