According to the images, transmitted by the channel of the Judicial Power and retransmitted by Twitter, the video of the stripper Ricardo Milos appeared with the name of a user of the study of the defense of President Pedro Castillo, the lawyer Benji Espinosa, which caused the hearing to be suspended for a few minutes.
A supreme judge evaluates the request of Castillo’s lawyer to annul the fiscal investigation against the president for allegedly directing a corruption plot in which his former Minister of Transport and Communications, Juan Silva, is currently a fugitive from local justice.
The president’s defense seeks to prevent prosecutors from questioning him at a hearing scheduled for Friday. He alleges that sitting Peruvian presidents enjoy immunity and cannot be impeached during their five-year term.
“They have crudely leaked the video, giving the impression that it was from my studio, which I reject,” lawyer Espinoza told Reuters by telephone.
The defender said that he will file a complaint with the judge for “informative crime.” “That shows that the virtual system of the Judiciary is vulnerable,” he said.
The government of leftist President Pedro Castillo, who has not yet completed a year in power, faces further investigations of alleged corruption, social protests and a drop in his popularity.
