Lava Jato Case
The effective collaborator N °155-2019 reported that months before a meeting with OAS held in early August 2014,there was an appointment in which Luis Castañeda,the former Odebrecht executive Raymundo Serra,and Martín Bustamante,who was the host,participated.
A few days later,an emissary from Serra gave Bustamante US $50,000. Later,Bustamante,at Castañeda's request,gave this money to Congressman JoséLuna Gálvez,who told him that the amount would be used to conduct a survey. Then Bustamante received US $150,000 from Odebrecht,in two installments. All this,according to the testimony of the effective collaborator.
After this revelation,the prosecutor of the Lava Jato Team,Milagros Salazar,asked Judge Jorge Luis Chávez Tamariz for authorization to search and search Luis Castañeda's home,in the district of Surco. Also the homes of seven involved in the case,such as Giselle Zegarra and JoséLuna Gálvez,as well as two offices of the Telesup Private University. The judge granted the authorization and the diligence was carried out on October 15,2019.
Other houses raided were those of Martin Bustamante,Alfieri Luchetti and Jaime Villafuerte.
In July 2018,Judge María de los Ángeles Álvarez Camacho,head of the First Permanent National Preparatory Investigation Court Specialized in Crimes of Corruption of Officials,issued an impediment to leaving the country against former mayor Luis Castañeda Lossio. A similar provision will apply to former congressman JoséLuna Gálvez,as well as to Martín Bustamante,former deputy mayor of Miraflores. The same is the case of Giselle Zegarra,former manager of Private Investment Promotion of the Municipality of Lima;as well as former municipal officials,Jaime Villafuerte and Bruno Lucchetti.
In January 2020,the Prosecutor,Milagros Salazar,of the special team requested 36 months of preventive detention for the former mayor,Luis Castañeda;the former congressman,JoséLuna Galvez;and the former mayor,Giselle Zegarra. This is due to irregular contributions from Odebrecht and OAS to Luis Castañeda's campaign in 2014. It is said that the former mayor would have led a criminal organization from 2011 to 2018,when he ceased to occupy the municipal seat.
On February 14,2020,the Judiciary ordered 24 months of preventive detention for the former mayor of Lima,Luis Castañeda. While his former collaborators,the former congressman,JoséLuna Gálvez and the former mayor,Giselle Zegarra,were imposed a restricted appearance for 36 months with certain rules of conduct and an economic guarantee to each one.
