Former Peruvian president imprisoned over corruption allegations
"Martin Vizcarra has been ordered to serve five months in pre-trial detention over bribery allegations, marking him as the fifth former president jailed in Peru."
"Since 2018, Peru has seen a tumultuous political landscape, with six presidents and significant corruption scandals leading to numerous detentions of former leaders."
Martin Vizcarra has been sentenced to five months in pre-trial detention due to bribery charges from his time as governor. A judge ruled him a flight risk, following concerns raised by the public ministry. Vizcarra, the fifth ex-president imprisoned amidst political turmoil, has denied the accusations, calling them politically motivated. His case follows the detentions of three other ex-presidents in a facility designated for former leaders, amidst ongoing controversy over impeachment practices in Peru's Congress and political crises that have emerged since 2018.
