Such separation proceeds as the action for annulment of the recusal against Concepcion Carhuancho —filed by prosecutor Rafael Vela— was declared inadmissible by the Second National Criminal Appeals Chamber.
On February 6, the request for recusal against the Second National Criminal Appeals Chamber, which removed the said judge from the investigation, was declared inadmissible by the First National Appeals Chamber.
Earlier, on January 15, magistrates Octavio Sahuanay , Jessica Leon and Ivan Quispe —of the Second Appeals Chamber— had declared the recusal against Concepcion Carhuancho founded.
Such appeal had been filed by the defense of ex-Minister of the Alberto Fujimori regime Jaime Yoshiyama Tanaka, claiming the judge infringed the impartiality principle by making statements to the press.
Yoshiyama is accused of being a member of an alleged criminal organization inside Fuerza Popular and of allegedly receiving bribes from Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht during Keiko Fujimori's presidential campaign.
The judge
In Peru, Concepcion Carhuancho has become very popular as he ordered preventive detentions against former Presidents Alejandro Toledo, Ollanta Humala, and candidate Keiko Fujimori —all of them involved in the Odebrecht case.
Wanted by Peruvian justice, Toledo is residing in the U.S. Therefore, the Peruvian Government is closely following up on the corresponding extradition process.
Humala and wife Nadine Heredia served nine months in preventive detention thru April 2018.
