Magaly Medina sentenced in defamation case against Cuto Guadalupe

Magaly Medina has been sentenced to three years of suspended prison and a fine of approximately S/57,216.50 following a lawsuit filed by former footballer Luis 'Cuto' Guadalupe. The Second Unipersonal Criminal Court of Lima found Medina guilty of injury and aggravated defamation regarding comments made about Guadalupe's personal life in 2023. As part of her sentence, Medina must adhere to conduct rules, including periodic check-ins with the court and restrictions on leaving the country without authorization. She has expressed intentions to appeal the ruling.

Separately, television host Maritere Braschi has faced significant backlash from residents of Lima Norte. The controversy arose after Braschi stated on social media that she had not yet found a location in the northern district that was sufficiently pleasant, clean, or orderly for a first date. Critics and local residents have defended the area, noting the existence of various commercial and dining options.
