Overview
- After a virtual hearing on January 29, the Tercera Sala Penal Superior left the defense’s nullity and appeal request pending a written ruling.
- Urresti’s team seeks to annul the 12-year sentence by arguing the sentencing court improperly used control difuso to disregard Law 32107.
- The Public Ministry recommended on January 16 that the appeal be declared unfounded and argued in the hearing that Law 32107 does not apply to this case.
- Prosecutor Pedro Orihuela maintained the matter is imprescriptible and noted the conviction was already firm by July 19, 2024, before the law’s enactment.
- The April 2023 judgment named Urresti coauthor of Hugo Bustíos’s killing, and he remains incarcerated at the Virgen de las Mercedes prison in Chorrillos.
