Lima Battles Brookfield Again in Saga Judge Calls Near-‘Mockery’

(Bloomberg)-The allegation that Iluma’s legal struggle against a Brookfield asset management participation of a Brookfield asset management on a transition agreement was covered by a strong suspicion by a US Federal judge on Thursday.

Lima has been fighting with Brookfield for years on the allegations that a Peru unit has obtained a wage agreement through bribery before entering under the control of the operating asset manager. The last tactic of the city, which was put forward in the Federal Regional Court in Washington on Thursday, faces a war uphill based on the reaction of the judge.

Lima under the right -wing Mayor Rafael Lopez Aliaga is trying to overthrow arbitration losses $ 200 million. The city asked the judge to rule former lawyers for a conflict of interest with Brookfield, and the trial on Thursday was the review of the legal argument.

The movement was not officially opened, and Judge Ana Reyes warned that the lawyers of the city can be approved for potentially meaningless claims if they are moved forward without a suitable justification.

Reyes decided that Lima had to pay Brookfield and said, “Your customer certainly did not do any favor. I mean, I don’t mean, no reliability. None. He said. “I’m not sure that I can say that they mocked this court and our laws, but if they didn’t, they’re quite close.”

Martin de Luca, the partner of Boies Schiller, representing Lima, said he was sure of the company’s arguments. In his interview after the hearing, he said, uz We plan to move forward as planned and grateful for taking the movement of Judge Reyes seriously, ”he said.

The transition fees are a lightninger in the Peru capital, which Lopez Aliaga, who was called Porky after Pork Porky, has made the biggest priority to cancel the contract. It is also widely accepted to run for the president in 2026 and is among the front runners in early polls.

At the center of the issue, former Mayor Susana Villaran allegedly received bribes in exchange for a mercenary contract in the early 2010s. The villas have been accused and will begin to be tried next week, but there is no conviction or acquittal to solve the problem yet. Rejects any injustice.

Reyes acknowledged that a potential conviction may have an impact on the case in the US.

The owner of the wage at the time was the Brazil Konglomera Odebrecht sa, which accepted the bribery of public officials around Latin America. Odebrecht will continue to sell a majority shares to Brookfield and will continue to be a minority partner of paid roads.

Lopez Aliaga turned Brookfield into an enemy in most of his political speeches and compared the alleged bribes with the mafia. However, while discussing these allegations, Lima, Arbitration, Reyes Court and the US Appeal Court Brookfield and Rutas de Rutas de Lima repeatedly lost repeatedly. 200 million dollars have not been paid at the Arbitration Awards.

Reyes, Lima’s lawyers told, “If I give you the series of truth, you will not have the intention of paying, you will probably put every barricade they will put,” he said.

Lopez Aliaga joined the court and was there to örnek off the corrupt transitions caused by bribery ”on social media.

Brookfield also took Peru’s decisions of the Peruvian Court, which limits the arbitration and company’s ability to collect transitions, demanding compensation of $ 2.7 billion due to the inability of the city to pay.

Lopez Aliaga repeatedly said that he would not pay Brookfield, including an interview with Bloomberg earlier this year. Reyes said he was very aware that Lopez Aliaga’s appearance in the media will not pay Brookfield.

“I probably believe that your client is acting in good faith, Rey Reyes said,“ Because I think all of us are here, your customer is that your customer refuses to prosecute it and refuse to pay. ”
