Is this arguable in court that his right to a fair trial has been impaired, or don’t they have that concern in Peru?

I had that feeling a little too.

The Minister goes on and on about thanking Chile and Interpol. I read elsewhere Chile and Peru do not have great relations, so this expulsion was not as easy as it seems legally.

They were saying on Nancy Grace that in Peru, it is not a Trial by Jury. The accused goes before three Judges, and a Preponderance of Evidence is all it takes! Woooohoo! He’s done.

I don't think they have juries in Perú and other Latin American countries.

Trial by three judge panel, no juries.

Regarding fair trial, I see another article, like this one, insinuating the presentations might not be fair, and the Interior Ministry insisting he will be treated fairly.

Still, that perp walk was some show!

LOL! That’s the least of his worries.

Peru is a Napoleonic code country. I.e. presumption of guilt. They also have the distinction of having some of the most brutal prisons in the western hemisphere. An interesting twist on penal management: the Peruvian state provides the walls and guards the exterior, but leaves the inmates to run the interior. As an inmate, you pay for your food, your cell, your clothing, etc.

Outside of perhaps China, I can’t think of a more stupid place to commit a serious crime.
