Overview
- Prosecutors seek a 29-year sentence as the trial begins on charges that Villarán led a criminal network to channel funds from Odebrecht, OAS and Graña y Montero.
- The case centers on Rutas de Lima and the Línea Amarilla contract, with the first adenda allegedly approved without MEF review and tied to higher toll costs for users.
- Authorities allege about $3 million from Odebrecht for Rutas de Lima and say the Línea Amarilla adenda changed the deal from self‑sustaining to co‑financed, raising the investment from $480 million to $561 million.
- The prosecution points to Contraloría expert reports, cooperating witnesses and a forthcoming declaration by former Odebrecht executive Jorge Barata as key evidence.
- Controversies include the 2024 death of ex–municipal manager José Miguel Castro, identified as a key operator, and reports that the Fiscalía declined OAS executive Leo Pinheiro’s proposed colaboración eficaz.
