She reappeared to ensure that she is calm and that she does not plan to leave the country. The former president Dina Boluarte It was seen, virtually, in the appeal hearing in the process being followed for the crime of money laundering and after the new fiscal request to prevent departure.
“Since I left the presidency I have found myself at peace, calm. I must give myself a break to continue. I have not gone anywhere and I will not because I have nothing to fear,” said the former president, a month after being vacated by Congress.
Boluarte appeared at the end of the hearing to point out that she has always collaborated with justice every time she has been summoned by the Prosecutor’s Office in each of the processes to which she has been subjected, which she described as being “strictly of a political nature.”
“I have always preserved the democratic and constitutional values with my country, those democratic values have been reflected in my deep vocation to respect public institutions. When they unjustly and arbitrarily raided me, breaking the door of my home, every facility was provided to clarify the truth. When I have been summoned to the Public Ministry, I have attended each of the tax files despite my intense activities as president. In all of them I have declared, I did not use the position I held to avoid them,” said the former head of state, who rejected the new request to prevent him from leaving the country due to the Los Dinmáticos del Centro case. The Public Ministry seeks to ensure the presence of the former president in the process that is being followed.
“The request was rejected approximately a month ago, I have not been able to do so. My house is public. I am here and I will remain here. After many years I am enjoying a break, the family unity and the love I have with my son,” Boluarte defended himself.
On October 15, the Judiciary refused to issue a 36-month ban on leaving the country against the former head of state, determining that there are not sufficient elements to constitute a simple reinforced suspicion of the crime of money laundering, nor a risk of flight on the part of the former president.
The order was linked to the bank account that Boluarte opened four years ago with Braulio Grajeda. According to the tax accusation, this joint deposit would have received money of illicit origin that later ended up covering the bail of the now fugitive Vladimir Cerrón.
“My job was simply to open a joint account jointly with another person, just that. I was not looking for contributors, I was not registering them, in fact I did not contribute to that account either,” Boluarte explained in his speech.
The Fifth Criminal Appeals Chamber of the National Superior Court has left its decision on this new tax request to vote.
