Former Peruvian President Vizcarra Is Ordered Released From Jail

Former Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra has been ordered released from jail by a Peruvian court. Vizcarra was serving a five-month pre-trial detention on corruption charges. The court ruling comes after Vizcarra challenged the legality of his imprisonment, arguing that the charges against him were not sufficient to justify his continued detention. Vizcarra, who served as president from 2018 to 2020, has been accused of receiving bribes during his time as governor of the Moquegua region. However, the court determined that the evidence presented was not strong enough to warrant his continued imprisonment while the investigation is ongoing. This decision is seen as a significant development in the case, which has been closely watched in Peru and has raised concerns about the country's political stability.
