Lima A judge at the centre of a major influence peddling scandal in Peru's justice system has been arrested, a prosecutor said Sunday. Police captured Judge Walter Rios as part of an investigation after audio recordings sparked a scandal over influence peddling and sale of sentences, internal affairs prosecutor Jaime Velarde said on Twitter.
The audio recordings aired on investigative journalism website IDL-Reporteros and the Panorama program on television station Canal 5.
Rios is the first judge detained in the investigation. (AFP)
