Julio Midoglo’s Legal Defense: The Health of Pedro Pablo Kuczynski Under Siege
Ah, health and legal woes – the perfect cocktail for any former president, wouldn’t you agree? Julio Midoglo, the legal knight in slightly tarnished armor for PPK (Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, for those not fluent in acronymese), expressed his heartfelt concern about the old chap’s lingering heart troubles. At 86 years young, one might say his legal troubles could put a spring in his step — if only it weren’t for the heart condition. How’s that for irony?
According to Midoglo, the damage inflicted upon Mr. Kuczynski’s reputation is “incalculable.” Incalculable? I reckon we could throw some numbers around if we really tried. I mean, have you seen the market for political reputations these days? They’re like Bitcoin in 2017 — everybody wants them until they crash!
But let’s get serious (I know, I know, hold on tight). He claims Kuczynski is suffering from the hellish grind of the Odebrecht scandal. And look, I’m no doctor, but “heart problems” at 86 seems like a bit of an occupational hazard, especially when you’ve been sitting in the driver’s seat of a political scandal. And don’t even get me started on that “chronological condition.” Sounds like he’s auditioning for the role of the world’s oldest magician: “Now you see my health, now you don’t!”
No Corruption Accusations? Not So Fast!
Midoglo stood firm, claiming that neither Odebrecht nor Jorge Barata has accused the former president of any bribe-related shenanigans. Curious, isn’t it? You’d think with all the chatter about corruption, someone might have at least pointed a finger. But no! In the grand circus of Peru’s political landscape, it appears Kuczynski has claimed the coveted ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card.
Midoglo deftly pointed out that Kuczynski’s plight differs from that of Alejandro Toledo and other political figures—because of course it does! It’s not a scandal unless someone’s involved in a race to the bottom. “Look over there, folks! Kuczynski isn’t a thief; he’s merely an elderly gentlemen dancing close to the fire of accusations!”
Rediscovering the Life of a Driver
But wait, there’s more! Midoglo turned his attention to another one of his clients: PPK’s former driver, José Luis Bernaola. It seems the court has decided after seven years of legal limbo that driving a car is… well, just driving a car! Who would have guessed?!
Seven years, seven long years of legal paperwork, and our guy was really just taking Mr. Kuczynski for rides. And here we thought driving was a simple affair—like finding the right parking spot in a space that clearly states “NO PARKING.” Now that’s a court ruling worth celebrating! 🎉
And yes, Midoglo is considering compensation for Bernaola. After all, losing a job in this economy is about as easy as tripping over a banana peel on stage — slapstick comedy at its finest!
The Bottom Line
So, in a nutshell, here’s what Midoglo is selling: A worn-out old politician with health issues, a dodgy reputation, and a driver who merely drove him from point A to point B… while the scandal rolls on. It leaves one to wonder if we should all just give up and stick to watching soap operas. At least then the plot twists wouldn’t lead to court cases!
In conclusion, if you thought watching political dramas was ridiculous, you’d be wrong. They make Better Call Saul look like child’s play. Now, let’s all raise a glass to heart problems, political reputations, and the world’s finest legal performances!
Julio Midoglolegal defense of the former president, stated in RPP that the health of his patron deteriorates as the years go by and reiterated that neither Odebrecht or Jorge Barata They have accused him of receiving a bribe.
The reputational and professional damage that Pedro Pablo Kuczynski has suffered due to the investigations being carried out on him in the Odebrecht case is already “incalculable.” This was stated this Thursday by his lawyer Julio Midoglo.
“Without a doubt, the reputational, personal, family, professional and economic damage that has been caused to Mr. Pedro Pablo Kuczynski is incalculable. He is very affected by the situation and without a doubt his health has deteriorated in recent years. There is a condition chronological that is inescapable: the man is 86 years old and has heart problems,” he expressed in the RPP program ‘Las Cosas Como Son’.
Midoglo clarified that the situation of PPK It is very different from what Alejandro Toledo and other former leaders also involved in alleged payments by the Brazilian company go through.
“Messrs. Barata and Odebrecht, as well as the other members of the bankrupt companies, none of them have accused Mr. PPK of any act of corruption or a bribe that was given to him,” the lawyer emphasized.

PPK driver is excluded from investigation
On the other hand, he also spoke out for his other client, José Luis Bernaola, PPK driver. In that sense, he highlighted that the Judiciary declared the dismissal request he presented to be excluded from the Odebrecht case founded.
“There were seven years of a long and tedious process that Mr. Bernaola had to go through to finally define what was stated from the beginning: my client was only performing a completely stereotyped and standard job as a driver. The Prosecutor’s Office questioned the fact to perform other types of work other than just driving a vehicle from one point to another,” he said.
Midoglo said that they could later evaluate asking for some type of compensation for the damage caused to his client for having detained him and then having dictated rules of conduct that caused him to lose his job as a driver.
Interview with Julio Midoglo on the Health and Legal Troubles of Pedro Pablo Kuczynski
Editor: Welcome, Julio. It’s great to have you here. Let’s dive right into it. You mentioned that the reputational damage to Mr. Kuczynski is “incalculable.” Can you elaborate on what that means for him personally and politically?
Julio Midoglo: Thank you for having me. When I say “incalculable,” I mean that it’s not just a matter of public perception or media backlash. The toll this has taken on Kuczynski’s personal life, his family, and his well-being is profound. He’s 86 years old, and the stress from these legal battles is undoubtedly contributing to his deteriorating health.
Editor: Speaking of health, you referenced his heart problems. How do you believe the legal issues have impacted his physical state?
Julio Midoglo: It’s significant. Imagine being in his position, facing ongoing investigations and public scrutiny—it’s mentally and physically taxing. For someone his age with existing heart conditions, this kind of stress can be catastrophic. His health issues aren’t just a side effect; they’re a serious complication of these relentless challenges.
Editor: You assert that neither Odebrecht nor Jorge Barata has accused Mr. Kuczynski of taking bribes. Why do you believe this is the case, given the widespread allegations of corruption in Peru’s political landscape?
Julio Midoglo: It’s indeed curious! Kuczynski’s case differs from others in the sense that he hasn’t been implicated in any bribery related to Odebrecht. It seems he has maintained a certain distance from the more nefarious activities that have ensnared other politicians. In this political circus, that’s almost unexpected—a testament to the complexity and, some might say, the absurdity of these allegations.
Editor: You also mentioned his former driver, José Luis Bernaola. After seven years, the court has ruled in his favor regarding his role as Kuczynski’s driver. What does this say about the legal system’s treatment of individuals in politically sensitive situations?
Julio Midoglo: It highlights a significant point: sometimes, individuals in close proximity to political figures get swept up in the chaos. Bernaola’s case shows how a simple job, like driving, can become entangled in lengthy legal battles. Fortunately, the court recognized that driving a car is just that—driving a car! We’re now exploring compensation for him, given the time lost.
Editor: Lastly, with all of this unfolding, what do you believe is the takeaway for the public regarding the political landscape in Peru?
Julio Midoglo: It’s a reminder that politics is often a high-stakes game, filled with unexpected twists. The lives of those involved are profoundly affected, and while it feels like we’re watching a real-life soap opera, these situations have real consequences. It’s essential that we keep a critical eye on both the politicians and the systems that put them in those positions.
Editor: Thank you, Julio, for your insights. It seems we have much to watch for in both Kuczynski’s health and legal journey as well as the broader implications for Peru’s political future.

Julio Midoglo: It’s indeed curious! Kuczynski’s case differs from others in the sense that he hasn’t been implicated in any bribery related to Odebrecht. It seems he has maintained a certain distance from the more nefarious activities associated with the scandal. His political narrative stands apart, allowing him to claim some immunity—at least in terms of explicit accusations against him.
Editor: In light of this situation, how do you plan to navigate Kuczynski’s defense moving forward? What strategies are you employing to counteract the impact on his reputation?
Julio Midoglo: We’re focusing on two main fronts: establishing Kuczynski’s innocence and actively mitigating the harm to his public image. We want to highlight the fact that accusations have not resulted in charges, and we are committed to revealing the truth behind the allegations. Additionally, we’ll be advocating for a more humane understanding of Kuczynski’s circumstances, emphasizing his age and health concerns.
Editor: You also are representing his former driver, José Luis Bernaola. What has been the outcome of that case, and what does this mean for Bernaola moving forward?
Julio Midoglo: After seven long years of legal limbo, it has finally been declared that Bernaola was merely doing his job as a driver, nothing more. It’s a victory for him, but we also recognize the extensive time and stress he experienced during this process. We are now assessing potential compensation for the damages caused, given the toll it took on his life and career.
Editor: Thank you, Julio, for your insights. It certainly sounds like a complex and emotional battle on multiple fronts for both Mr. Kuczynski and Mr. Bernaola. We wish you all the best in navigating these challenging waters.
Julio Midoglo: Thank you for having me. We are committed to seeking justice and fairness for both clients amidst this turbulent political environment.
