The Quinto Juzgado de Investigación Preparatoria de La Molina has ordered 15 months of pretrial detention for businessman Jackson Mora and seven other individuals. The group faces allegations of computer fraud and operating as a criminal organization, with the Municipalidad Distrital de Pueblo Nuevo in Chincha and the State identified as the aggrieved parties.
Court Rationale for Pretrial Detention
The presiding judge determined that the 15-month detention period is both necessary and proportional for the accused. According to the court, this measure is required to mitigate the risk that the suspects might interfere with the ongoing investigation. The magistrate concluded that less restrictive measures, such as simple appearance with restrictions, would be insufficient to ensure the integrity of the judicial process for most of those involved.
The individuals subject to the 15-month detention order are César Antonio Nepo Zolla, Daniel Jesús Mesones Mazzini, Giovanni Jeremi Torrico Mugaburu, Jackson Rivelino Mora Rodríguez, Fabia Carolina Reyes Salas, Roy Luis Chauca Tantalean, Fiorella Milagros Gallo Roncalla, and Máximo Salomón Ojeda Cisneros. A ninth individual involved in the investigation will proceed under the status of appearance with restrictions.

The court specifically cited the potential for the accused to obstruct the development of the investigation as the primary justification for denying less restrictive measures for the eight defendants.
Legal Appeals and Next Steps
Following the court’s resolution, the legal defense for Jackson Mora confirmed plans to contest the ruling. The businessman’s lawyer announced that an appeal will be filed with the objective of revoking the pretrial detention order.
