Alejandro Sánchez requests to face his judicial process at liberty
Alejandro Sánchez, a businessman linked to former Peruvian President Pedro Castillo, has once again asked the Judiciary for permission to continue his legal process at liberty. Sánchez is being investigated for his alleged participation in a group known as the "Shadow Advisors," which reportedly operated during the past administration.
According to the Peruvian Prosecutor's Office, this group functioned as an alleged criminal organization within the presidential circle. It is believed that the members of this team influenced important decisions and participated in various illicit acts to obtain political and economic benefits irregularly.
The Prosecutor's Office identifies Alejandro Sánchez as the main financier of this alleged network. Authorities accuse him of using his resources and his proximity to power to support illegal activities. Due to the seriousness of these accusations, the businessman has remained under judicial supervision while the investigations into the case progress.
Sánchez's defense argues that their client has the right to defend himself outside of prison and ensures that there is no real risk of flight. The request seeks to change his current situation so that he can wait for the trial at home, under certain restrictions, instead of being in a detention center.
The Judiciary must evaluate this request in the coming days and decide if the businessman represents a danger to the development of the investigation. Meanwhile, the "Shadow Advisors" case continues to be one of the most relevant processes in current Peruvian politics, due to the high-level figures involved.
