The Third Special Criminal Chamber of the Superior Court of Lima resolved on August 31, 2006 to uphold the objection lodged by the defense team of Juan Fernando Dianderas Ottone and Martín Fortunato Luis Solari de la Fuente and found that the criminal proceedings against them for complicity as accessories to the crime against the State had lapsed under the statute of limitations. It therefore ordered that the process be closed.254 205. The Third Superior Prosecutor, on September 22, 2006, charged Vladimiro Montesinos Torres, Nicolás de Bari Hermoza Ríos and Roberto Edmundo Huamán Ascurra as instigators for commanding the murder of Herma Luz Meléndez Cueva and Víctor Salomón Peceros Pedraza. He also charged them and Jesús Zamudio Aliaga as instigators of the crime of murder against Eduardo Nicolás Cruz Sánchez.255 He filed formal charges against Herbert Danilo Ángeles Villanueva as a direct perpetrator and against Martín Fortunato Luis Solari de la Fuente and Juan Fernando Dianderas Ottone as instigators of the crime of concealment, or accessories after the fact, in injury of the State.256 206. The Third Special Criminal Chamber ruled on its own motion, on October 20, 2006, that the criminal action against Herbert Danilo Ángeles Villanueva for the crime of concealment had lapsed under the statute of limitations.257 207. The Third Special Criminal Chamber of the Superior Court of Lima issued an order for trial on November 21, 2006, holding that there were grounds to try Nicolás de Bari Hermoza Ríos, Vladimiro Montesinos Torres and Roberto Edmundo Huamán Ascurra as criminal instigators of the crime of murder against Herma Luz Meléndez Cueva and Víctor Salomón Peceros Pedraza; and against Vladimiro Montesinos Torres, Nicolás de Bari Hermoza Ríos, Roberto Edmundo Huamán Ascurra and Jesús Salvador Zamudio Aliaga as criminal instigators in the murder of Eduardo Nicolás Cruz Sánchez 258. It also declared defendant Jesús Salvador Zamudio Aliaga in contempt, because although he was “fully aware of the process against him [and] had engaged his attorney to appear […], he was displaying evasive procedural conduct.”259 Cf.
