Peru prosecutors probe president, ex-president for alleged money laundering

Firstpost  

The probe into the alleged crimes by Boluarte and Castillo is part of an ongoing investigation into alleged campaign finance crimes committed during Peru’s 2021 presidential race Lima: Peruvian prosecutors are investigating President Dina Boluarte and former president Pedro Castillo for allegedly laundering money as part of a criminal organization, the attorney general’s office said on Twitter on Tuesday. The probe into the alleged crimes by Boluarte and Castillo is part of an ongoing investigation into alleged campaign finance crimes committed during Peru’s 2021 presidential race. The announcement comes after a former adviser to Castillo told local media that he had financed part of Castillo’s presidential campaign in 2021, as well as trips for Boluarte when she was running to be Castillo’s vice president. “The alleged commission of these crimes would have occurred during the electoral campaign of Peru Libre,” the attorney general’s office said, referencing the Marxist party that led Castillo to the presidency of the Andean country.
