within the framework of the Lomas de Ilo–Moquegua Hospital case.
As is known, the INPE reported that the former top official would be transferred to the Ancon II penitentiary facility for prison security measures.
This decision was communicated through an official statement reporting what was established by the Technical Classification Board for Vizcarra to serve his preventive detention at Lurigancho penitentiary center. However, he will remain at Ancon II due to security reasons.
The former president had been serving preventive detention at Barbadillo Prison, inside the Peruvian National Police's Special Operations Directorate (Diroes) headquarters in Lima's Ate district.
Vizcarra is being prosecuted for the Lomas de Ilo–Moquegua Hospital case.
The Public Ministry (Prosecutor's Office) accuses him of having received S/2.3 million (US$611,000) in alleged bribes and has requested a 15-year prison sentence against him.
The former president was under simple appearance, a measure that Seventh Court Chairman, Judge Jorge Chavez Tamariz, deemed insufficient to ensure his trial. Therefore, the magistrate decided to replace it with preventive detention for a five-month period.
