In a shocking turn of events, the President of Peru, Dina Boluarte, is facing a corruption inquiry after police raided her government palace and private home in search of luxury watches. This probe was initiated following an investigation by a news outlet that revealed Boluarte owned at least 14 luxury watches, sparking what has now been dubbed the “Rolex case” by the media.
Prior to the raid, Boluarte vehemently denied any wrongdoing, insisting that her possessions were acquired through hard work. Despite her protests, the searches were conducted “without incident,” according to Boluarte’s office. The President is now expected to testify at the prosecutor’s office next month as the investigation progresses.
In response to the raids, Boluarte’s political allies have come to her defense, criticizing the actions as excessive. This incident has only added fuel to the fire of political instability that has plagued Peru in recent years. Previous presidents, including Pedro Castillo, Martin Vizcarra, and Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, have all faced corruption allegations or charges, further fueling the public’s distrust in the government.
The downfall of multiple leaders due to corruption allegations has left the country reeling, with citizens growing increasingly disillusioned with their political leaders. As the investigation into Boluarte’s luxury watch collection unfolds, the people of Peru are left wondering what the future holds for their government and who they can truly trust in positions of power.
