When consulted by Punto Final, the Presidency indicated that the president went to buy Chinese candies. In addition, they highlighted that, on this occasion, he did not hide his identity by wearing a hood.
Jerí attended with a blue sweatshirt and black glasses. He arrived accompanied by a state security man and a young woman. Chinese businessman Zhihua Yang and two of his workers were at the premises.
After a moment of being in the store, he began to talk on the phone, visibly upset, waving his arms and touching his neck.
According to the Cuarto Poder report, on the same day this meeting was recorded, the Municipality of Lima had closed the premises for carrying out a business other than the authorized one.
“There is a trend: retail sale in Minimarket and warehouses, retail sale of bazaar items and household items, but it was found that the majority of products are also offered by wholesale box,” determined the MML Inspection Management.
First recorded meeting between Jerí and the Chinese businessman
Previously, the Punto Final program broadcast a photograph showing a meeting between Jerí and Zhihua Yang in a chifa in San Borja on December 26. Through a video broadcast in the early hours of Sunday, January 18, by the official account of the Presidency, Jerí assured that that day, he himself invited the Minister of the Interior, Vicente Tiburcio, and his escort to dinner “during normal and prudent opening hours” at the establishment of “Mr. Johnny”, whom he has known for some time.
“You have to know how to recognize mistakes and know how to apologize. Therefore, to every Peruvian who is watching me, I admit my mistake and I apologize publicly for having entered the way I did: hooded; and that this has given rise to suspicions and doubts,” he said.
