The Justice of Peru dictates 30 months of preventive detention against the sister-in-law of Pedro Castillo

MADRID, 29 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Judge Johnny Gómez Balboa has issued this Sunday preventive detention for 30 months for Yenifer Paredes, sister-in-law of the president of Peru, Pedro Castillo; and for the mayor of Anguía, José Medina.

"(The) court declares (the) request for preventive detention for 30 months for Yenifer Paredes and José Medina, investigated for the alleged crime of criminal organization and others," the Public Ministry of Peru announced on its Twitter account.

The defendants will have to serve preventive detention until February 2025. The magistrate has considered that the 36 months are not reasonable, for which he has granted a term of 30 months, a measure that has provoked the appeal of the Prosecutor's Office.

The Public Ministry had indicated in its fiscal thesis that Paredes would be the main "lobbyist" of a criminal organization that would be led by Pedro Castillo. The first lady, Lilia Paredes, as coordinator, would also have participated in this plot - a case known as 'The cashier and the sister-in-law' or 'Anguía case'; Mayor José Medina as operator; and businessmen Hugo Espino Lucana and Anggy Espino Lucana --brothers-- as figureheads.
