Peru Court Sentences Deisi Palomino to 15 Years for Aiding Shining Path

The ruling orders S/5 million in civil damages to the State.

Overview

  • The Specialized Third Superior Prosecutor’s Office for Human Rights and Terrorism, led by Andrés Montoya, secured the conviction on Jan. 23, 2026.
  • At trial, adjunct prosecutor Jackeline Ferrel demonstrated that Palomino housed Florindo “Artemio” Flores Hala and his group at her Magdalena Pavayacu residence beginning in 2007.
  • Documentary records, forensic analyses, and testimony from former members established her logistical support to the Huallaga faction of Shining Path.
  • The court determined she was Artemio’s partner, and that her sons, known as Jordan and King Kong, were integrated into the organization.
  • Authorities frame the case as a step in penalizing support networks in Huánuco, noting Palomino’s 2008 arrest and Artemio’s 2012 capture in San Martín.
