President Pedro Castillo’s lawyer, Benji Espinoza, spoke on Wednesday about the leaking of a video during the judicial hearing in which the appeal that seeks to annul the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the Nation against the president was evaluated.

Espinoza said that an unidentified person uploaded the images with the intention of “diverting attention, “sabotage” the diligence – broadcast live by Justicia TV – and, therefore, stated that he will denounce what he described as a “computer” crime.

While the deputy supreme prosecutor Samuel Rojas was expounding, from the account identified as “Espinoza Ramos Study Assistance” a video of Brazilian Ricardo Milos, an internet phenomenon turned social media meme, was shown. This incident generated the immediate claim of the representative of the Public Ministry.
“It has been a third party that has tried to sabotage the hearing, but has not been able to do so. I have asked the Supreme Court of Preliminary Investigation, Dr. Chekley, to carry out the corresponding investigations. For our part, we are going to denounce for the commission of computer crimes, ”said Benji Espinoza in RPP.
“A person who wanted to divert the debate from the transcendental and introduce an anecdotal fact, has placed ‘Espinoza Ramos Study Assistance’ when I never put ‘Espinoza Ramos Study’ in my hearings. I put ‘BER’, which is the acronym for Benji Espinoza Ramos, or we put ‘Benji Espinoza,’” he said.
“No one from my studio has been. It is going to investigate who it was. The person who has done it, for wanting to make a joke in very bad taste and divert attention, is going to have to face what he does even with a prison sentence, ”he insisted.
The National Prosecutor’s Office is investigating President Castillo for the alleged crimes of criminal organization, aggravated influence peddling and collusion. His defense first filed an appeal for annulment to the Public Ministry and when it was rejected, he went to the Judiciary via a “protection of rights.”
