This market will resolve to "Yes" if Pedro Castillo receives a presidential pardon, commutation, right of grace, humanitarian pardon, or other formal grant of clemency from the President of Peru by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM PET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A qualifying grant of clemency must be officially issued by the President of Peru and must relieve Castillo, in whole or in part, from criminal liability, criminal proceedings, conviction, sentence, or criminal penalties in connection with any criminal case. A qualifying grant of clemency will resolve this market to "Yes" regardless of whether it is later challenged, revoked, annulled, or declared invalid. Court rulings, acquittals, dismissals, legislative amnesties, prosecutorial decisions, prison transfers, releases from custody, or other actions that do not involve a formal presidential grant of clemency will not qualify. The primary resolution source will be official information from the Government of Peru. However, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used. Peru's Ministry of Justice rejected a formal pardon request for former president Pedro Castillo in late July 2026, citing procedural deficiencies in the filing submitted by a congressional ally. The interim administration of José María Balcázar closed the matter before its term ended. Under the subsequent government of President Keiko Fujimori, the justice minister stated in August 2026 that a pardon remains impossible in the current environment and characterized related protests as attempted blackmail. Castillo, sentenced in late 2025 to 11.5 years for conspiracy and rebellion, faces structural barriers including legal requirements for clemency and limited political support for release. These confirmed official actions and statements underpin the market's 19% implied probability that any presidential pardon, commutation, or equivalent measure will occur before the end of 2026.
