Criminal investigation over alleged aggravated unfair collusion. Olaechea is defending Lenovo in a criminal investigation initiated by the Prosecution Service of Huánco for corruption crime over the acquisition of 7995 laptops by the Regional Government of Huánuco. The counterparty investigates our client, some civil servants from the regional government, and other individuals for allegedly having committed aggravated unfair collusion to the detriment of the State.
Previous Comptroller General’s Office’s proceedings: The investigation follows a proceeding initiated by the Comptroller General’s Office of Peru, which has identified that the equipment delivered to the Regional Government of Huánuco did not comply with the required technical characteristics.
Authenticated laptops did not meet technical specifications: Particularly, the authority identified that laptops did not have the software indicated in the requirement, despite the letters of authenticity sent by Lenovo’s legal representative to the entity.
Proving veracity of information in certificates of authenticity: We were entrusted with the case when the Prosecution Service had already formalised the preparatory investigation against the involved parties. Since then, we have been vigorously defending the interests of Lenovo’s legal representative and the company itself, proving that the information indicated in the certificates of authenticity is true.
Vital case to defend global technology powerhouse’s market prestige: Lenovo is a global technology powerhouse, ranked in the Fortune Global 500. The case is of vital importance because it is not only the client’s legal representative who is being defended but also the market reputation and prestige of our client itself.
Relevant regional case involving imprisoned politician: Moreover, this is the most relevant case in the region of Huánuco. It has gathered a lot of repercussion in the local media as the President of the Regional Government is imprisoned in preventive detention.
Latest development: We continue assisting the client as the case is still pending.
