Overview
- A trial court that handles in‑flagrante cases in Sullana ordered five months of preventive detention for Carlos Paul Lloclla Cedano in a public‑safety case over hazardous materials.
- Prosecutors had requested seven months, and the judge partially granted that after finding serious and well‑founded evidence tying him to the alleged crime.
- Police say they stopped him at a house construction site, noted he wore worker clothes, reported he tried to run, and found two dynamite cartridges with a mechanical detonator and a fulminant in a search.
- The court cited a prior eight‑year prison sentence on his record and the 6 to 15 year penalty range for the charged offense as factors that increase the risk of escape.
- Under Peruvian law, preventive detention allows judges to jail a suspect during an investigation when they see a risk to public safety or flight, and this case proceeds under the Public Prosecutor with the Interior Ministry’s legal office as the aggrieved party.
