Attorney Robles argued that Checkley made a mistake by not verifying compliance with the procedures for lifting his client’s immunity, which would require a process that begins with a constitutional impeachment.

“The judge abandoned his obligation to conduct constitutional oversight and complied, as an order, with a political slogan: Everyone against Pedro Castillo!,” the lawyer said.

He also accused the Public Prosecutor’s Office of taking unconstitutional and illegal action by launching a preliminary investigation into Castillo and requesting protective custody.

The defender also argued that what Castillo was charged with did not correspond to the characteristics of the crimes of insurrection, conspiracy, abuse of power, and serious disturbance of the public peace, since the first charge, from which the others were derived, is committed only by means of an uprising of arms.

And the prosecutor’s office claims that by ordering the armed forces and the police to help him, he called them to revolt with weapons, and this is nothing more than a forced explanation.

In your appeal, the lawyer said: “My client is accused despite the lack of an objective element of ‘raising arms’, simply to carry out a political order of his opponents and thereby subject him to arbitrary imprisonment for as long as possible.”
