INQUIRIES IN CONGRESS
On the other hand, after the violent death of the former Congress worker, Andrea Vidal, in a strange incident when she was aboard a taxi in La Victoria, whose driver was shot 70 times, a fact that would be related to an alleged pimping network in the Legislative, the Oversight Commission of that branch of the State has summoned a former official and four active officials to testify to give their testimony as part of the investigations.

The first to give his testimony is Jorge Luis Torres Saravia, the former head of the Parliament’s Legal Advisory Office, and who was Andrea Vidal’s boss.
Torres Saravia is a lawyer close to Alianza Para el Progreso (APP), César Acuña’s party that has taken over eight key positions in Parliament, and who would seek to shield the investigations.
This, because he was hired in that position – after entering Parliament in 2020 as an advisor to the current secretary general of APP, Luis Valdez – by the former head of Congress, Alejandro Soto.
In 2023, he released a report that freed Soto from being investigated by the Ethics Commission for nepotism, for hiring the mother of his son in his office.
The document resolved that “there was no nepotism,” even though the fact was evident. Later, he continued in that position when Eduardo Salhuana, also an APP congressman, assumed the presidency of Congress.
Torres Saravia is accused of being the alleged leader of this pimping network and of the alleged recruitment of Andrea Vidal for these purposes, according to the hypothesis of the Oversight Commission.
