On March 24, 2007, the Permanent Military Judge of Huancayo resolved to close the
case file against noncommissioned officer Juan Hilaquita Quispe for the alleged crime of authority,
based on the Constitutional Tribunal’s judgment of December 15, 2006, which established that Military
Justice would have no jurisdiction over common crimes sanctioned by the Criminal Code and declared
unconstitutional certain articles of the Code of Military Justice, including those which referred to “abuse
of authority” since they did not involve offenses in the course of duty. 78 Similarly, the sentence of
March 24, 2007 ordered that the allegations be communicated to the Public Prosecutor of Huancayo so
that it could act in accordance with its constitutional attributions. 79 On August 16, 2007, the Permanent
War Council of the Second Judicial Zone of the Army affirmed the former judgment,80 and on August 17,
2007 the certified copies of the case file were sent to the Public Prosecutor of Huancayo. 81
