Overview
- Edgar Pauccar Mañuico, 41, was detained in Andahuaylas after a routine police control flagged him as recorded deceased in judicial systems.
- Police say a fraudulent 2016 death certificate led to the suspension of a requisitoria tied to his conviction in Ica.
- He lived publicly for years in San Jerónimo as a leader of the Lliupapuquio community despite being listed as dead.
- Authorities are coordinating his transfer to Ica to serve the standing sentence, with potential charges for falsification and procedural fraud under review.
- The Fiscalía is investigating the physician who signed the certificate and his lawyer for alleged involvement, according to PNP Col. César Bardales.
