LIMA, (Reuters) – Peru’s attorney general’s office yesterday presented a constitutional complaint against President Dina Boluarte in a case involving her use of luxury watches, which has become a national scandal.
The complaint, which accuses Boluarte of “passive bribery,” was presented to Congress. Boluarte has already faced questioning and police raids over her use of several Rolex watches and other jewelry that seem at odds with her modest public salary.
The president has said the luxury goods were loaned to her by a local governor.
