Peru's Lava Jato Case Prosecutor Jose Domingo Perez on Thursday decided to
maintain the 36-month preventive detention request against ex-President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski over alleged asset laundering crimes, and not to change this petition for
house arrest, as it was previously informed.
At court, Perez informed the medical certificate submitted by the Legal Medical Institute (IML) indicated Kuczynski's health "is clinically unstable" and that he has uncontrolled high blood pressure.
However, the prosecutor pointed out, this condition "does not mean a serious illness or a permanent physical incapacity" that could prevent the justice from complying with the petition.
Preliminary detention
Furthermore, in 2007, the Westfield Capital company —founded by Kuczynski— allegedly received money transfers from South IIRSA —Stretches 2 and 3— and Trasvase Olmos.
Ex-President
This new motion was intended to oust Kuczynski for alleged links with Odebrecht.
