Overview
- The judiciary approved an 18-month bar on international travel for Piero Corvetto as prosecutors investigate alleged aggravated collusion tied to April’s national vote.
- The order also covers six suspects — José Samamé, Juan Phang, Juan Alvarado, Hilda Otoya, William García, and Lilia Flores — in the same case.
- During a home raid on April 24, investigators reported finding a third passport for Corvetto that they said is valid until August 10, 2026, and they cited it as a sign he could leave the country.
- Corvetto told the court the passport found was invalid because he renewed earlier this year and said he voluntarily handed in a new 10-year passport, while rejecting any wrongdoing.
- The case centers on ONPE’s hiring of Servicios Generales Galaga to distribute election materials, a process now under scrutiny that could influence trust in how Peru runs its elections.
