Lawmaker Julián Pérez could face pre-trial detention if allegations of violence against his former partner are proven true, according to legal counsel. Attorney Nakazaki stated Pérez does not have parliamentary immunity for common crimes, leaving him vulnerable to prosecution. This means any legal defense will not be state-funded, and Pérez will be responsible for his own legal costs. The allegations stem from a reported assault in San Miguel. This development marks a significant shift as lawmakers are often shielded by immunity. The case is now under investigation to determine the veracity of the claims and potential criminal charges. Pérez’s legal team has yet to issue an official statement regarding the accusations.
