By early March 2022, Página Siete counted a total of fourteen pending cases against Arias, the majority relating to his term as minister of public works. Including the ENTEL case and the process for illegal appointments and breach of duties, the mayor was accused of: improper sale of State lands to private individuals; sexual and workplace harassment; corruption in the purchase of biosecurity material; discrimination against his former electoral rival, César Dockweiler, when the latter was manager of Mi Teleférico; and finally, uneconomic conduct and improper use of public goods and services. As mayor, Arias faced legal processes for "political violence" against two deputy mayors whom he dismissed for corruption; irregular restitution of municipal officials to their previous posts; and an increase in the urban cleaning fee.
