Find out how many years in prison the Prosecutor's Office is seeking and for which cases he is being tried.
What irregularities is Vizcarra alleged to have committed, according to the Prosecutor's Office?
The alleged irregularities are said to have occurred in the bidding process for the Moquegua Region Hospital, awarded to the company Ingenieros Civiles y Contratistas Generales S.A. (ICCGSA), as well as in the Lomas de Ilo project, which is part of the larger Pasto Grande project.
The latter was awarded to the Obrainsa-Astaldi consortium, through a process in which the San Invercom consortium also participated.
The first offered approximately S/86 million (about US$25 million), compared with S/249 million (about US$73 million) from the second.
What crimes is he accused of?
The Third Office of the Supra-Provincial Corporate Prosecutor's Office Specialized in Corruption Crimes by Public Officials charges Vizcarra as the alleged perpetrator of aggravated collusion, improper passive bribery, and illicit association to commit a crime, stemming from the irregular awarding of the corresponding bids.
How many years in prison is the Prosecutor seeking for him?
Vizcarra allegedly received bribes totaling S/2.3 million (about US$680,000).
Therefore, the Prosecutor's Office is seeking a prison sentence of 15 years: nine years for the Moquegua Hospital case and six for the Lomas de Ilo case.
In addition, the Public Ministry (Prosecutor's Office) has requested that Vizcarra be disqualified from holding public office for six years.
This would be added to two previous disqualifications imposed by Congress, for five and ten years, respectively.
Third-party liability
The Ad Hoc Public State Attorney's Office for the Lava Jato case has requested that Vizcarra and the companies included as third parties be ordered to pay civil reparations worth S/4.6 million (about US$1.3 million).
The testimony of a cooperating witness indicates that Obrainsa's Manager, Elard Tejada, allegedly coordinated with Vizcarra in November 2013 to secure the contract awarding.
The latter is said to have provided him with privileged information to win the concession, specifically regarding the maximum amount to bid.
After providing this information, Vizcarra allegedly requested, in return, S/1,016,212 (about US$300,387), equivalent to 2% of the project's value.
Regarding the Moquegua Hospital case, a total of S/1.3 million (about US$384,274) was allegedly given to the former government official to sign the corresponding contract.
In addition to Vizcarra and Tejada, other individuals under investigation in this case are former ICCGSA executives Fernando Castillo and Rafael Granados.
Vizcarra's legal defense has requested a postponement of the start of the oral trial phase, arguing that his rights to due process and the principle of criminal procedural legality have been violated.
