A Peruvian presidential candidate named Sánchez has been ordered to stand trial over financial irregularities in his party's accounting records and unreported campaign contributions. The candidate has one week to file an appeal against the court order. Under Peru's constitution, if Sánchez wins the presidential election, he would automatically receive immunity from prosecution, which could effectively halt the legal proceedings against him.
