LIMA: A Peruvian court will issue its verdict on Thursday in the trial of former left-wing president Pedro Castillo, who was impeached and jailed all in the same day in 2022 following a power grab attempt.
Dubbed Peru’s first poor president, the former rural schoolteacher and trade unionist, who had never held elected office before winning the presidency, faces up to 34 years in prison if convicted of trying to disband Congress and rule by decree on December 7, 2022.
