Julio Rivera: The Comptroller filed a criminal complaint against ‘Coyote’ for making a false statement to enter the IPD

The income of Julio Rivera it can cost public management dearly. The former soccer player was president of the Peruvian Sports Institute (IPD) for 54 days and had to leave office for not meeting the requirements to be appointed, despite the fact that government authorities defended his appointment.

As is known, Julio ‘Coyote’ Rivera was appointed on January 24, but it was immediately made public that he did not have four years in sports management, one of the requirements to take office. In his resume he had recorded nine years of work experience as sports director of his “Coyote” Rivera Soccer School, that is, since 2013. He certified it with a certificate signed by Lorena Cárdenas Catasus, administrator of the academy , his wife.

However, he did not serve the nine years mentioned, minus the four years required to take office. He also questioned his higher studies in Business Administration, since he did it in an undergraduate institute.

On Thursday night it was already known in the IPD offices that there was a report from the Comptroller of the Republic in which his appointment was questioned, that is why Friday dawned with the news of his departure – Rubén Darío Trujillo remained in office , representative of Minedu in the board of directors-. The justifications he gave were not enough.

For this reason, this Saturday it was learned that the Comptroller of the Republic filed a criminal complaint against Julio Rivera and his wife, for the case of the declaration of the years he had directed his soccer school. The document in which the complaint is communicated was sent to the Ministry of Education.

Part of the document:

The coordinator of the Criminal Area has communicated the presentation of the criminal complaint filed by this Attorney General’s Office against:

– Julio César Rivera Gonzales, for the alleged commission of the crime against the administration of justice-false statement in an administrative procedure, to the detriment of the Ministry of Education, typified in article 411 of the Penal Code.

– Lorena del Rosario Cárdenas Catasus, for the alleged commission of the crime against public faith – generic falsehood, to the detriment of the Ministry of Education, typified in article 438 of the Penal Code.

This complaint was filed on March 10 before the 4th office of the First Corporate Criminal Prosecutor’s Office of Miraflores-Surquillo-San Borja. Thus, Julio Rivera sees how his entry into public management was more complicated than he expected.
