In this regard, the former head of the PCM accused Zamir Villaverde of being the responsible person who would have conditioned Pinedo to testify against him.
“I am absolutely outraged by this crude maneuver by a offender (Zamir Villaverde) who uses her (Yaziré Pinedo) as a puppet. (…) The serious thing here is who is behind all this. (…) This staging is a comical work and (the statements) are the script that this criminal has given it,” were the first cotárola Peñaranda’s comments on the situation through a phone call to Beto Ortiz’s program.
Furthermore, the former prime minister highlighted that the accusations have been made without evidence and demanded immediate action from justice. “Immediate action by justice is required because (Pinedo) is not only an extortionist, but now she is slanderer and has put himself at the service of a criminal organization that throws mud with a fan,” said Alberto Otárola.
Finally, Yaziré Pinedo also accused him of allegedly having given money to congressmen for shield President Dina Boluarte. Given this, the former head of the PCM added: “I call on the Attorney General’s Office to review the effective collaboration of this person.”
Yaziré Pinedo denounces that Alberto Otárola physically attacked her: “He has always been a toxic man”
In an interview for the Milagros Leiva program, Yaziré Pinedo reported having been physically attacked in Alberto Otárola’s office when he was Minister of Defense. “On December 17 (2022) he raised his hand at me… he did things that he has not told about. (…) He has always been a toxic man,” he said.
When questioned by the journalist about the motives behind the attack, Pinedo explained that Otárola had always been egocentric and vain, and that he hoped she would see him as someone attractive. She reported that the attack occurred when Otárola called her to continue working on “Reconstruction with Changes”, but when she refused, he attacked her and then made a scene of jealousy, suggesting that she already had someone to support her. “Like every jealous man, he told me: ‘ah, surely you already have someone to support you,'” he said.
