Given the recent accusations that link Jorge Torres Saravia with an alleged prostitution network within Congress, the party Alliance for Progress (APP) has issued an official statement categorically denying any relationship with the former official.
César Acuña’s party emphasized that “Mr. Jorge Torres Saravia has never belonged nor does he belong to Alianza Para el Progreso”, rejecting “categorically any attempt to link him with our political organization.”
They classified these links as “false, irresponsible statements” whose only objective is “confuse citizens and affect our institutional image”.
The political group also expressed its regret for the death of Andrea Vidal Gómez, involved in this case, and extended its “Condolences to his family and loved ones in this time of pain”.
What happened to Andrea Vidal Gómez?
Andrea Vidal Gómez, lawyer and former Congress worker, died last Tuesday after enduring seven days fighting for her life in the intensive care unit of the 2 de Mayo hospital. The young woman, 27 years old, was traveling in a taxi on December 9 at the intersection of San Eugenio and Santa Catalina avenues, in La Victoria, when she was intercepted by hitmen who shot her up to 40 times.
According to a journalistic report, Andrea Vidal was an advisor to Jorge Torres Saravia, former head of the Legal and Constitutional Office of Congress, in exchange for certain ‘favors’, including finding women to work as sexual servants in Congress.
This alleged business would have been in operation until September of this year when they had a fight, at which time Vidal was removed from her position as an advisor.
In his defense, Torres Saravia has denied any involvement in the network, arguing that he had no direct control over the hiring of the personnel involved: “I don’t hire them directly; that is done by the human resources department. I know some of them, but I have seen the others recently.”
