Lawyer's Alleged Influence Shakes Pataz Massacre Investigation
Pataz Massacre: Lawyer's Alleged Influence on Witness Testimony Investigated A shocking claim has emerged in the ongoing investigation into the Pataz massacre in Peru. A key witness alleges that lawyer Liliana Pizán influenced witness testimonies to remove Luis Antonio Cueva Rojas, president of the peasant round of Vijus-Pataz, from the case file. According to the witness, Pizán, who represented the victims, used her influence to alter the narrative after the initial testimonies implicated Cueva Rojas. In a phone interview featured in a recent América Noticias report, Cueva Rojas vehemently denies any involvement in the massacre. "Those boys were never under my control," he stated, adding that he had alibis in the form of meeting attendance records and police presence at those meetings. He also mentioned having filed a complaint and having various chats as evidence. The América Noticias report also includes images and legal documents that appear to support the witness's claim and Cueva Rojas's defense. The investigation is ongoing, and the authorities are currently reviewing the evidence to determine the extent of Pizán's alleged involvement and the accuracy of Cueva Rojas's claims. This case highlights the complex dynamics of justice and the potential for manipulation within legal processes.
