Father of Teen Who Died in Police Custody Announces Legal Action Against Congress President

The father of a teenager who died while in police custody at the Manchay station has announced legal actions against the president of Congress, Fernando Rospigliosi. Javier Cubas strongly rejects the parliamentarian's statements, which labeled his son a "juvenile delinquent" and alleged he was under the influence of drugs, especially as fiscal investigations are ongoing.

Cubas stated that Rospigliosi's remarks disrespected his son's memory, asserting that there is no official sentence or conclusion to support such claims. "The president of Congress has disrespected my son far too much, without knowing that my son can no longer defend himself," Cubas declared in an interview with La República. His legal team is preparing a complaint for defamatory comments.

During the interview, Cubas criticized Rospigliosi's incoherent statements, arguing they were made without conclusive evidence. "The congressman is speaking completely incoherently. He, without knowing, without having proof, is referring to my minor in this way," he stated. The father confirmed the decision to pursue legal action, with his lawyers spearheading the process.

Beyond legal measures, Cubas is considering public mobilization to protest Rospigliosi's statements and reiterate his demand for respect for his son's memory. He aims to publicize his position and maintain focus on the investigation. The Public Ministry continues to investigate the circumstances of the teenager's death, and six police officers have been temporarily suspended pending the outcome of the inquiries.
