Lawsuit demanding compensation for Peruvian state due to alleged irregularities. Estudio Olaechea is representing Gerardo Freiberg in a lawsuit for compensation filed by the Comptroller General’s Office of Peru, due to supposed irregularities in our client’s tenure as general manager for COFIDE—a state-owned finance company. We have grounded our defence in the fact that our client did not engage in any irregular activities and is therefore not liable to pay compensation to the Peruvian State.
Compensation for alleged irregular financial practices: The Comptroller General’s Office of Peru has filed a lawsuit against the former Chairman of the Board of COFIDE and four other individuals who served as general managers in succession, including our client, claiming that the Peruvian State should be compensated for alleged irregular practices at COFIDE. These include the use of petty cash for snacks and meals.
High-profile case dominating media coverage: This case has received wide coverage by national media, making headlines in various outlets, capturing public attention, and fuelling debates. As such, it is a key matter for our client and our firm, given the potentially negative reputational impact.
Latest development: Our firm’s work is ongoing as the case is moving into the evidentiary stage.
