Peru's Ministry of Justice and Presidential Pardons Commission have repeatedly rejected multiple clemency requests for former President Pedro Castillo on procedural and eligibility grounds, citing unmet requirements and pending cases. Serving an 11-year sentence for rebellion tied to his 2022 attempt to dissolve Congress, Castillo faces additional investigations and extended pretrial detention through March 2027. The current administration under President Keiko Fujimori has explicitly ruled out any pardon, describing such a move as legally and politically untenable. This institutional and executive resistance underpins trader consensus favoring no pardon by year-end. Humanitarian considerations or late legal reversals remain narrow theoretical paths, though officials have signaled they would require exceptional medical justification amid ongoing appeals.
