El juicio por el golpe de Estado de Pedro Castillo | El expresidente buscó ausentarse al retirar a su abogado a último momento, pero su estrategia no tuvo el resultado esperado. La fiscalía ratificó su pedido de 34 años de prisión contra el expresidente y acusó directamente a Aníbal Torres de haber escrito el discurso golpista.
The trial against former Peruvian President Pedro Castillo for his attempted coup on December 7, 2022, has begun. Castillo and his former ministers (Betssy Chávez, Aníbal Torres, and Willy Huerta) are accused of rebellion. The trial was delayed due to the late arrival of lawyers and defendants, and Castillo initially refused to participate without his lawyer. A co-defendant was declared a fugitive for not appearing. The prosecution argues Castillo broke the democratic and constitutional order.
