Peru Judge Frees 'Negro Marín' Under Restrictions After Extradition

Prosecutors have appealed seeking a higher-court review of a 36-month detention request.

Overview

  • Judge Roberth Rimachi of the Ventanilla preparatory court denied the prosecution’s bid for 36 months of preventive detention and ordered restricted release for Miguel Ángel Marín.
  • The ruling came days after Marín was extradited from Spain, following his capture in Madrid in early January and transfer to Peru on February 27.
  • The court cited that several complaints were filed while Marín was outside the country and assessed the evidence as insufficient for strong suspicion at this stage.
  • Marín must comply with comparecencia restringida obligations, including declaring his domicile and reporting periodically to judicial authorities, as INPE executes the order.
  • Prosecutor Edwin Velásquez criticized the decision for discounting police findings and confirmed an appeal seeking preventive detention in the case linked to the alleged group Los Sanguinarios de la Construcción.
