Peru's Prosecutors Seek 34 Years in Prison for Former President Pedro Castillo
Peru's prosecutors have officially requested a 34-year prison sentence for former President Pedro Castillo. The ex-president was removed from office and arrested in late 2022 following his attempt to dissolve Congress, leading to months of deadly protests and disruptions in the country's vital mining sector. Currently in pre-trial detention, Castillo faces charges of "rebellion," abuse of authority, and disrupting the peace. The legal proceedings reflect the political turmoil that unfolded in Peru and the legal consequences for the ousted leader.
