8 Marín, a Peruvian Army Major and 3 civilians, as alleged perpetrators of the crime against the Administration of Justice (aiding in the escape of a fugitive from justice), abuse of the authority to authenticate public documents (forgery of documents in general), and corruption of public officials (taking of bribes by the members of the Police Force and bribing public officials by the civilians charged), to the detriment of the State.5 36. Pursuant to the charging document issued by the prosecutor’s office, PNP Captain Roberto Cárdenas Hurtado, and a PNP First Class Warrant Officer, who worked at the Office of Migration of the city of Tumbes, illegally issued approximately 81 passports, many of which were handed over to different individuals, including a member of the PNP, who handed them over to the other codefendants.6 As for Mr. Zegarra Marín, the criminal complaint indicates that he was aware of the irregularities that were taking place in the Office of Migration of Tumbes and he had “obligated or induced” PNP Captain Cárdenas Hurtado to pay him US$5.00 for every passport he issued, and he received liquor and a watch from him [the Captain].7 It also indicates that on April 6, 1994, he sent 500 passports to the Office of Migration of Tumbes, instead of the 525 he was supposed to have sent, and when the PNP Captain asked him to account for the missing ones, Commander Zegarra told him he did not have to pay him anything anymore and for him to replace the missing passports with old ones.8 It notes that in order to provide support documentation for the unlawful granting of the passports, case files were put together using records that were not necessarily legal and then the passports were granted in exchange for economic advantages.9 The charging document indicates that one of the passports sent to the Office of Migration of Tumbes was the one used by Carlos Remo Manrique Carreño in New York City on October 17, 1994, when he provided identification documentation to the police.10 5 Annex 1.
