Elio Riera
Elio Riera is a prominent lawyer in Peru known for his legal expertise and representation in high-profile cases. Recently, he has been in the news for representing Andrés Hurtado Grados, who is facing allegations of influence peddling. Riera has filed a formal request with the Supreme Court to declare the criminal action against Hurtado as inadmissible, arguing that the alleged facts do not constitute a crime under Peruvian law. His legal strategy aims to secure Hurtado's immediate release from prison while also contesting the ongoing investigation into his client's affairs.
