“Since when and under what circumstances did you meet Zhihua Yang? What type of relationship do you have with Zhihua Yang? On December 26, did you participate in a dinner at the Salón Xin Yan oriental food restaurant in San Borja?”, say sources close to the National Prosecutor’s Office.
He will also be asked if he confirms that he went to chifa with the Minister of the Interior, Vicente Tiburcio Orbezoand his presidential escort as reported hours before the Cuarto Poder program revealed new images of him with Yang.
“Who accompanied you and what was the reason you went to dinner at the San Borja chifa? Did you propose to go to the San Borja restaurant for dinner or was it a request from a specific person?” the same sources mention.
Likewise, he will be questioned if he knew that businessman Yang had a contract with the Government, as is the case with the company Hidroeléctrica América, who requested the General Directorate of Electricity, of the Ministry of Energy and Mines (Minem), to extend the deadline to begin operations at the Pachachaca 2 station.
“Did you know that the businessman Zhihua Yang maintains a contract with the State? Since when? How many times has he gone to the chifa owned by Zhihua Yang and at what times?” he will be asked.
In the interrogation that Gálvez is preparing against Jerí, he will not only be asked about his relationship with Zhihua Yang, he will also be asked about his meetings with Ji Wu Xiaodongwho entered the Government Palace up to three times, despite the fact that he was under a house arrest order.
“How many times have you met with Chinese businessmen at the Government Palace, on what dates and can you specify the reasons? Who is in charge of authorizing and reviewing the entry of visitors to the Government Palace?”, the sources refer.
President José Jerí is investigated for the alleged crime of illegal sponsorship and influence peddling, following a meeting with Zhihua Yang. Within the framework of the investigation, Ji Wu Xiaodong was included as a witness, after it was learned that he participated in several meetings with Yang at the Government Palace and to explain his presence in the chifa.
In this regard, the president explained that the times he frequented the presidential office it was because he was part of the Zhihua Yang and that they did not warn about his house arrest because there is no system that detects the judicial situation of people. He has also revealed that he does not speak much Spanish, a version that contradicts the records of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, given that he appears as an official translator.
