The President of the Board of Directors of the Congress, Alejandro Sotowas accused before the tax authorities of scam for the sale of a property to $265,000 that months before he himself had acquired it from $5,000. Soto Reyes, then legal advisor to the company Transport Wayna Picchu, he would have taken advantage of his position to convince the board of directors to make said purchase in 2012.

Transportes Wayna Picchu affirms that the board of directors that authorized the purchase of the land from the peasant community did not know until that day the true identity of the seller (Alejandro Soto) to whom the amount of the purchase was issued in two checks: US$200,000 on the 26th of November and $65,000 on December 24. This information was discovered thanks to an audit.

The prosecutor Etel Marquina Rodríguez corroborated the facts presented by the aggrieved company and requested a sentence of 8 years and 8 months in prison for Alejandro Soto, for the alleged crime of fraud and generic falsehood. However, the former adviser devised some tactics with his lawyers to avoid jail, which seemed imminent at the time.

With the vote in favor of him in the Chamber, Law No. 31751 was promulgated. On July 14, Soto requested to take advantage of this law to file the accusation against him.

Despite the file, Soto was still required to pay civil damages. Judge Román indicated that the aggrieved party, Transportes Wayna Picchu, had the right to request this compensation.

Although the statute of limitations prevented Soto from facing a criminal conviction, it did not eliminate the crime of fraud.
