Published: 11/28/2025

Former Peruvian Presidents Pedro Castillo and Martín Vizcarra have been sentenced to jail time for separate charges in the span of two days. Castillo, a left-wing leader, received an 11-year prison sentence for attempting to rule by decree in 2022, while Vizcarra, a centrist politician, was handed a 14-year sentence for receiving bribes during his time as a regional governor. These high-profile cases highlight the ongoing struggle against corruption in Peru's political landscape.
