The complaint is based on the fact that the various meetings held by the businesswoman Karelim López y Castillo were held with the presumable purpose that the president interceded so that the Puente Tarata III consortium won the tender for a work.
In the letter, Soria points out a series of facts for which there are suspicions that the president also had incurred in influence peddling, which is currently being investigated by the Second Office of the Second Provincial Corporate Prosecutor’s Office of Lima.
The Attorney General’s Office requested information on these meetings from the secretary general of the presidential office, who reported on two occasions that he had no record of them.
In the document, Soria asks Ávalos not to suspend the investigation once the investigation is opened, since it maintains that Article 117 of the Constitution does not prohibit an acting president from being investigated.
The president of the Council of Ministers, Mirtha Vásquez, assured that they will respect the investigations.
“We respect the institutions that are investigating and, of course, we are willing to collaborate,” he explained at a press conference.
He added that “beyond the versions and speculations and what we can ask and receive, that is in the hands of the authorities.”
Vásquez responded like this when he was asked about the journalistic reports in which it is reported that Karelim López would have sought to be an effective collaborator by indicating that he had made money deliveries through former presidential secretary Bruno Pacheco to Castillo.
This version has been discarded by the businesswoman and her lawyer, César Nakazaki, who affirmed that there was never an attempt by her client to be a collaborator because there is no crime to recognize.
“What there is at this time regarding this issue are versions, there are several journalistic reports but, I repeat, it is in the hands of the authorities,” added the official, quoted by several local media.
On the 7th of this month, Congress rejected the motion that sought to remove Castillo through the so-called “soft coup” for not having enough votes.
Since he assumed the presidency at the end of July, the leftist president has been the target of all kinds of opposition siege to evict him from office.
