00:00 In Peru, the Public Prosecutor's Office has qualified as an act of rebellion the non-attendance
00:05 to court of President-elect Dina Boluarte.
00:08 Let's see more details in the following report by our correspondent Ramiro Angulo.
00:12 Good morning.
00:16 The Public Ministry has qualified as an act of rebellion the non-attendance of President-elect
00:20 Dina Boluarte to the situations of March 26 and 27 to explain the origin of the 13 Rolex
00:27 watches and 15 high-end watches she has owned since she started working in the government
00:32 in July 2021.
00:36 It should be noted that it is in this context that the Supreme Prosecutor Hernan Mendoza
00:40 was cited to the Congress of the Republic to explain about these absences.
00:44 In this hemicycle, the prosecutors also informed that they went to his home and to the government's
00:49 palace for these absences to be carried out, but that no one attended them in any of these
00:53 offices even though they had been told that they could go to the government palace in
00:57 order to carry out the absences.
01:03 It should also be recalled that on March 25, Mateo Castaneda, attorney for President Dina
01:20 Boluarte, requested the rescheduling of these appointments, indicating that there were a
01:24 series of events and a very tight agenda.
01:27 However, the prosecutor's office rejected this request, saying that it was not justified
01:32 if these activities had been planned in advance of these appointments and if the presence
01:36 of Dina Boluarte in these events was essential.
01:41 For specialists, this is an attitude that could become an obstacle to investigations
01:44 and justice.
01:45 Dina Boluarte has been investigated for alleged crimes of illicit enrichment and for not providing
01:51 information in her sworn statements.
01:53 That is why some political parties such as Peru Libre and Juntos por el Perú have been
01:57 collecting signatures to present motions of vacancy for this case of the Rolexes.
02:07 It should be added to this information that the judiciary has rejected the amparo action
02:22 filed by the legal defense of Dina Boluarte to annul the investigations being carried out
02:26 in Congress and the prosecutor's office for the more than 50 deaths that occurred between
02:30 December 22 and January 23 in the protests against her government.
02:37 This means that both the Congress and the prosecutor's office will continue to investigate
02:40 President-elect Dina Boluarte.
