The Attorney General of Peru last month accused Olga Rosario Castañeda Ayulo, a provincial judge in the northern city of Cajamarca, of giving illegal Habeas Corpus protection for casinos presented by the Mustafa Group, to enable their operation of slot machines parlours and casinos to continue.

After investigations by the Internal Control Department of the Attorney General’s Office, Judge Castañeda was deemed to have committed several legal administrative crimes to favour the companies Masaris, represented by Basem Aguinaga, Costa del Sol represented by Mario Doud and Proyecciones Recreativas represented by Marina Abad.

According to the investigations, Judge Castañeda issued sentences on Habeas Corpus cases presented by the above companies, favouring them on issues that were not in her competence for such cases. As a consequence, several slots operations that had been closed down on licensing grounds were permitted to be reopened, in clear contravention of established gaming regulations. (E-04.26.07)
