According to the bill, the prosecutor's investigations must end in half the time of the planned punishment, after which, if an accusation has not been filed so the accused can be tried, the case is closed without punishment.

The former anti-corruption prosecutor Yván Montoya recalled that the parliament, under a neoliberal majority, approved a law similar to the one proposed by Velásquez, for cases of soldiers investigated for human rights violations, whose legality the Constitutional Court questioned.

For the lawyer Vladimir Padilla, consulted by the newspaper El Comercio, the Velásquez project would give impunity to those accused of crimes against the public administration.

In addition, he said that the project contradicts the law passed, under strong social pressure, by the current parliament that establishes the imprescriptibility of corruption offenses against the State.

The proposed norm could favor García, who is banned from leaving the country, and his ally, the Popular Force (FP) party leader, Keiko Fujimori, who has been remanded in custody, as well as other political figures investigated for possible corruption, such as former presidents Ollanta Humala, Alejandro Toledo and Pedro Pablo Kuczynski.

Humala is accused of receiving electoral funds from Odebrecht, Toledo to receive a bribe of 20 million dollars from the same source and Kuczynski to receive funds from that company for financial advisory services provided by a company he owns.

Humala fulfilled in 2017 a long preventive prison, like his wife, Nadine Heredia, Toledo is a fugitive in the United States and Kuczynski had to resign the presidency in March before serious indications against him.
