秘鲁利马-秘鲁最高法院判处前总统佩德罗·卡斯蒂略11.5年监禁，罪名是在2022年阴谋实施叛乱。当他试图解散国会时立法者准备弹劾他。
最高法院的一个特别小组还禁止56岁的卡斯蒂略两年内担任公职。自2022年12月被捕以来，他一直被拘留。
卡斯蒂略的两名前部长也因同样的罪行被判处11.5年监禁。其中一人是前总理贝齐·查韦斯，他获得了墨西哥的庇护，目前仍在秘鲁首都利马的墨西哥大使馆内。
秘鲁政府与墨西哥断绝外交关系查韦斯的避难所。
卡斯蒂略和他的前部长们可以对这一决定提出上诉。
这是本周第二位被判刑的秘鲁前总统。周三的另一个法庭在发现前领导人马丁·比斯卡拉犯有受贿罪后，判处其14年监禁在担任南方某州州长期间。
卡斯蒂略承诺在2021年就职时成为穷人的捍卫者，成为该国历史上第一位来自贫困农业社区的总统。他在没有任何政治经验的情况下就任总统。
卡斯蒂略被他的副总统取代Dina Boluarte也于10月被免职在一个非常不受欢迎的政府和影响南美国家的犯罪浪潮中。现任总统是何塞·杰里，他曾是国会领袖。
