The former premier, Alberto Otaroladenounced that there is an extortion group that from the shadows has isolated President Dina Boluarte and that Yazire Pinedo, the accountant with whom he was romantically linked, who recorded him to blackmail him, would belong to this group.
“I’m going to say it without any type of restriction: the young lady was systematically extorting me and all that information is available to the Prosecutor’s Office,” Otárola said in Willax.
“I have nothing to rejoice about my personal conduct, nor am I any saint. I have already discussed this with my family and I have made all the clarifications and all the chest beating that can be done, but I am not a criminal, I have been a victim of extortion, and I demand that the Public Ministry take action and continue with “This investigation of this group that is dedicated to extortion,” he added.
As is known, accountant Yazire Pinedo gave an interview to Panorama in which she confirmed having had a relationship with Alberto Otárola during her tenure in the Council of Ministers, a relationship initially denied. In addition, she mentioned that she was coerced and threatened by the former prime minister and the businesswoman Karelim López, whom she pointed out as the instigator to manipulate her public version.
PREMIER IN THE SHADOWS
In another part of the interview, Otárola implicated the Minister of Education, Morgan Quero, and the president’s brother, Nicanor Boluarte, in this alleged plot. In addition, he reported that he has been the victim of false accusations, such as that related to being the architect of the ‘Rolexgate’ exposure.
“I think that this story was created by Morgan Quero or suddenly by Nicanor Boluarte to separate me from the president’s environment, I am already drawing my conclusions. From day one I was accused of the Rolex leak, but they have convinced the president, this group that has isolated her, that I am bad, that I had a lot of power, that I denounced her for the Rolex,” he said.
Otárola described the current Cabinet as “worse” than Castillo’s and pointed to Eduardo Arana, Minister of Justice, as the “shadow premier.” It also implicated former president Martín Vizcarra, César Figueredo, former executive director of the Informal Property Formalization Organization (Cofopri), and effective collaborator Zamir Villaverde.
