Defence on criminal investigation for incompatible negotiation. We are defending Draeger in a criminal investigation initiated by the Prosecution Service of Lima for corruption crime against our client’s general manager and legal representatives, as well as civil servants from the Authority for Reconstruction with Changes (ARCC). The counterparty alleges that the investigated parties committed the crime of incompatible negotiation.
Alleged unduly favouring in direct contracting with public authority: The counterparty claims that civil servants had unduly favoured the client by awarding it a direct contracting to acquire 301 monitors of vital functions of 08 parameters, totalling a multimillion-dollar sum.
Proving absence of irregularity in awarding contract: We started working on the case as soon as the counterparty formalised the preparatory investigation. We have been vigorously defending Draeger’s representatives, offering different evidentiary elements that prove the absence of irregularities in the awarding of the contract.
Media scrutiny on government acquisitions during state of emergency: This investigation started after a piece of news aired on a renowned television channel in the country. The case took place in the context of the following control of the state of emergency decreed by the Peruvian Government during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Protecting client’s image from association with crimes against administration: For nearly 130 years, Dräger has provided safety products, solutions, and services to companies around the world. Thus, the case is also very relevant to the client, considering the crime against the public administration attributed to its representatives, as the situation could harm Draeger’s image on the market.
Latest development: The preparatory investigation was concluded. We are waiting for the counterparty’s decision on whether to dismiss the case or file an indictment.
