Lima .-<\/strong> A judge began evaluating in Peru this Wednesday a request from the Prosecutor’s Office for the current leftist candidate Roberto S\u00e1nchez, who will compete in the second round of the presidential election with the right-wing Keiko Fujimori, to be brought to trial for allegedly having presented false information about contributions and party financing between the years 2018 and 2020.<\/p>\n\n\nFor this case, which is in charge of the Thirty-Third Preparatory Investigation Court of Lima, the Prosecutor’s Office requests a sentence of five years and four months in prison for the candidate, for the alleged diversion to personal accounts of some 280,000 soles (about 58,651 dollars) of electoral financing funds from the Juntos por el Per\u00fa party.\n\nDuring the first hearing this Wednesday, in which S\u00e1nchez participated telematically, Judge Adolfo Farf\u00e1n clarified that he had not yet installed the view of the fiscal request and the arguments of the defense because he first had to resolve a series of appeals presented by those involved.\n\nHe also confirmed that in September of last year, the main accusation against S\u00e1nchez was dropped, for the crime of fraud in the administration of a legal entity, which is punishable by sentences of 2 to 5 years in prison.\n\n\n
