the fate of Nicanor Boluarte and his future in freedom are put in jeopardy starting at 9:00 a.m., when the Fifth National Chamber of Criminal Appeal assesses whether the brother of President Dina Boluarte – and the suspected leader of the criminal organization “Shadow Waykis”– will face the investigations against him in freedom.
As you remember, the past November 19, 2024the president’s brother did not participate in the session of the First Preparatory Investigative Court of the Supreme National Court of Specialized Criminal Justice (CSNJPE), in which the judge Concepción Carhuancho decided that the president’s brother would spend the next 36 months in detention.
The last image we have of him is through a virtual link in which Nicanor would be in a moving vehicle with an unknown destination. Since then, his lawyer, Luis Vivanco; He has shown that he has not been able to communicate with his client.
“This office has established that a detention order must be issued Because it is a proportional measure for your case, a less severe measure is not possible because aggravating factors of flight risk and disruption of the test activity are presented. (…) At liberty, it is very likely that he would seriously jeopardize the success of the process,” mentioned Richard Concepción Carhuancho during the preventive detention hearing.
After Boluarte was sentenced to 36 months in prison, the president’s brother has an arrest warrant. However, he is not the only suspected member of this criminal organization that is so far beyond the reach of justice.
Boluarte also joins Boluarte, Jorge Chingay Salazar, Jorge Luis Ortiz Marreros, Noriel Chingay Salazar and Zenovía Herrera Vásquezwho also have arrest warrants after 36 months of detention against them, during which preparatory investigations will be carried out by the Prosecutor’s Office.
The theory of Public Ministry is that ‘Shadow Waykis’ would be a criminal organization that would have recruited people to place them in key positions in state entities such as prefectures and sub-prefectures at the national level. In this way membership cards would be attempted to be collected and secured favorable economic contributions for the registration of the party Ciudadanos por el Perú before the jury of national elections.
