The judicial body responsible for interpreting Peru’s Magna Carta has decided to “bring serious attention” to Judge Vicente Fernandez Tapia, who was responsible for executing the release order approved last week by the Constitutional Court but who declared the decision inadmissible.

The magistrates of the Constitutional Court “urged” Judge Fernandez Tapia to “put more diligence and zeal in performing one’s duties during the execution of habeas corpus sentences,” as was the case with former President Fujimori.

The Constitutional Court upheld the appeal to restore the right of habeas corpus granted to Fujimori in March 2022.

The former Peruvian president, citing his 85 years of age and poor health, asked that he serve the remainder of his sentence outside prison.

Last week, the Constitutional Court sent the decision to reinstate Fujimori’s presidential pardon to the Ica court, where the 2022 habeas corpus arose, although the judge presiding over the case, the aforementioned Fernandez Tapia, refused to make such a decision. declaring the decision unacceptable.

Fujimori’s case began in December 2017, when then-Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski granted him humanitarian pardon which, however, was overturned by the court just a few months later, in the summer of 2018.

In March 2022, the Constitutional Court declared the “habeas corpus” presented by Fujimori’s legal team founded and in which they specifically referred to his state of health, indicating that it had worsened since the pardon granted by Kuczynski was revoked.

In addition to the sentence of 25 years in prison for massacre in Barrios Altos and La CantutaFujimori faces another criminal trial along with several of his health ministers on charges of forced sterilization of nearly 350,000 women and 25,000 men from various indigenous communities during his rule.
