Criminal Court reverses Saquicuray's decision and closes the case
Criminal Court reversed Saquicuray's decision and filed Barrios Altos case applying amnesty laws
On July 14, 1995, magistrates of the 11th Criminal Chamber of the Superior Court of Lima, invoking self-amnesty laws 26479 and 26492, overturned Judge Saquicuray's decision and ordered the final dismissal of the Barrios Altos case. The Chamber ruled that the amnesty law was not antagonistic to the Constitution or international treaties, and ordered that Judge Saquicuray be investigated for incorrectly interpreting the norms.
