-Legal Qualification-

Since last October 6, Vladimir Cheron has been a fugitive from justice. Junin was sentenced to three years and six months in prison after the Criminal Appeals Chamber of the High Court upheld the conviction against him for effective imprisonment.

He pleaded guilty in two judicial cases to the crime of corruption to the detriment of the regional government of June for the so-called 'Wanka Aerodrome' case. However, when authorities arrived to arrest him at his home in Lima, the former governor had already absconded.

Additionally, on Monday this week, a 36-month detention order was issued for another case in which he is being investigated for money laundering and organized crime.

The Sixth Preparatory Court warned that the former governor was failing to follow the code of conduct after going into hiding several months ago.

At the hearing, the prosecution warned the court that after deciding to move from Junin to Lima, Ceron never lived in the apartment in Linz, which he stated as his real address. “It surprises the judiciary and the fiscal authority,” said attorney Richard Rojas Gomez.
