SAC da luz verde a denuncia constitucional por caso ‘El Cofre’.

Overview

  • Lawmakers on the Subcommittee on Constitutional Accusations voted 8–1 to declare the complaint admissible and proceed with it.
  • The case centers on Denuncia Constitucional No. 595, filed in May 2025 by former attorney general Delia Espinoza.
  • Boluarte is accused of personal concealment for allegedly facilitating Vladimir Cerrón’s February 2024 escape using the presidential vehicle known as “El Cofre.”
  • Former interior minister Juan José Santiváñez is imputed with failing to report the alleged facts to the competent authority.
  • The subcommittee’s technical secretariat found sufficient indicia and formal compliance, and the admission advances a process that could reach the full Congress and, if approved, allow prosecutors to investigate after immunity is lifted.
