In this regard, the collegiate body's order asks the National Penitentiary Institute (INPE) and the director of the Barbadillo Prison to make the necessary arrangements for the immediate release of the ex-president during the day.
Moreover, the Court decided to severely reprimand the judge in charge of the Superior Court of Ica's First Preparatory Investigation Courtroom, Vicente Fernandez Tapia, for not implementing the resolution initially issued by the collegiate body.
