Peru Police Detain Influencer Makanaky Over Outstanding Warrant Linked to Maicelo Case

His manager says he presented himself with lawyers to resolve a missed-check-in warrant.

Overview

  • Makanaky, who was detained by Peruvian police on Monday, was intercepted and taken to a station as videos of the moment spread on social media.
  • His manager said the warrant ties back to statements he gave four years ago in a Jonathan Maicelo interview.
  • He added that he told him to present himself with lawyers, and the reports do not note a court date or formal charges.
  • In Peru, a requisitoria is an active search order that courts issue when someone misses required sign-ins or hearings, which the manager says happened here.
  • After that interview, prosecutors, the women’s ministry, and the ombudsman opened probes into alleged advocacy of crime and sexual violence.
