Ex-President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski and former Minister Carlos Bruce —who currently serves as Mayor of Surco district in Lima— will be summoned to testify in the current trial of former President Alejandro Toledo, it was announced on Wednesday.
The proceedings are part of the accusation for the crimes of collusion and money laundering that are imputed to Toledo due to the concession awarded for the execution of the Interoceanic Highway during his term in office between 2001 and 2006.
The Second National Collegiate Criminal Court set the dates for the summons to Kuczynski (December 6 and 11). At the request of the Prosecutor's Office, this testimony must be given in person.
Likewise, Bruce is scheduled to testify on December 5. On that date, former Congressman David Waisman —who served as Vice-President in the Toledo administration— will do the same.
Claudia Drago and Margaret Carrillo, witnesses proposed by the Prosecutor's Office, must have appeared at today's hearing. However, none of them attended the event.
In this sense, they will be summoned again for the next hearing on this case, which is scheduled for December 4 at 9:00 a.m. (local time).
Deadline
During the latest session, the judge asked the former president to maintain composure when the aforementioned witnesses appear at court.
Likewise, Prosecutor Jose Domingo Perez is allowed to resubmit to the court, thru December 29, the documents on which he will base the oral presentation of the case.
It was indicated that the Prosecutor's Office has submitted 324 volumes on this case, but this content requires getting organized by making a list of those documents that will be presented at the hearings.
