Overview
- A judge granted nine months of prisión preventiva for Brigadier Estanislao Condori Cuba as part of an investigation for alleged cohecho pasivo propio, a form of public‑official bribery.
- Authorities say the alleged solicitations occurred after a police intervention for suspected illegal weapons possession in the high‑altitude settlement of La Rinconada in San Antonio de Putina, Puno.
- Two co‑defendants, sub‑officer Willian Álvarez Mayta and civilian Juan Berríos Quispe, accepted terminación anticipada plea deals and received suspended sentences of five and four years plus ordered reparations.
- Condori Cuba rejected the charges, the court ordered his internment in a penitentiary, and his defense has filed an appeal seeking to overturn the preventive detention.
- Under Peruvian law, cohecho pasivo propio can bring prison and other penalties and the use of prisión preventiva signals the court saw a risk to the investigation or to public order.
