Peru Prosecutors Clear Andrés Iniesta of Fraud Allegations

Prosecutors said he neither participated in nor knew about the dealings tied to a disputed NSN South America events contract reported to have caused about €500,000 in losses.

Overview

  • The San Isidro–Lince prosecutor’s office ruled that it does not proceed to formalize or continue a preparatory investigation against Andrés Iniesta for aggravated fraud.
  • Authorities stated there is no procedure against him and that he will not be investigated in this matter.
  • The complaint was brought by Gucho Entertainment S.A.C. and other Peruvian promoters over sporting and musical events that were not held, with claimed losses near $600,000.
  • The resolution shifts focus back to the corporate dispute and contradicts earlier media leaks that suggested Iniesta was under investigation.
  • NSN previously rejected the accusations in a public statement and reserved the right to take legal action to defend its work and reputation.
