Overview
- The fine stems from Alianza Lima turning off the lights at Estadio Matute when Universitario was declared champion in the 2023 Liga 1 final.
- The Corte Superior de Justicia de Lima ruled that Alianza’s administrative challenge has merit and questioned the method used to calculate INDECOPI’s penalty.
- The decision does not cancel the sanction but instructs the Sala Especializada en Protección al Consumidor of the Tribunal de INDECOPI to issue a new evaluation to determine the monetary amount.
- Alianza Lima said it welcomed the ruling and its general manager Fernando Cabada asked that the reassessment use objective, technical criteria while the club continues legal actions.
- The case highlights judicial review of administrative sanctions in Peru and could change how INDECOPI computes penalties in high‑profile sporting incidents without automatically exonerating the club.
