The investigations continue. The woman who reported, in January 2020, having been allegedly sexually raped by the former official of the Parliament’s Legal Advisory Office, Jorge Luis Torres Saravia, will be summoned to testify to the Congressional Oversight Commission.
This, as part of the investigations into the Andrea Vidal case, whose plot includes the latter’s death with 70 gunshots, and the alleged existence of a pimping network within the legislative body.
In the summons, which would be in an extraordinary session starting next week, the complainant’s husband (Rosita Viky N.) will also be invited to testify separately.
COMPLAINT “BOARDING”
The date of the extraordinary session will be known in the next few hours.
Last Thursday, in the session attended by Jorge Luis Torres Saravia to testify to the Oversight Commission, the congresswoman of Popular Renewal, Norma Yarrow, announced that the plaintiff would be a victim of intimidation, by the former director of the Office of Parliament’s Legal Advice.
There, the existence of a notarial letter that Torres Saravia sent to his complainant on the 14th of this month was revealed.
Letter of intimidation from Torres Saravia to his complainant that is in the hands of the Oversight Commission.
Congresswoman Norma Yarrow, from Renovación Popular, was interviewed on this topic by Perú21 (see minute 8).
In last Thursday’s session, Yarrow announced the alleged intimidation that Torres Saravia had been carrying out against his complainant.
CENSORSHIP OF SALHUANA AND CHANGES
On the other hand, despite the fact that there is a request from five groups that he temporarily step away from office, to guarantee that his party, APP, does not block the investigations of the Andrea Vidal case, in the plot of which is an alleged pimping network in the Legislative , the president of Congress, Eduardo Salhuana, indicated last Friday, at a press conference, that he “will not” step aside.
On this issue, Yarrow regretted that Salhuana clung to the position, because the healthiest thing was for Patricia Juárez, the vice president of the Legislature, to assume the presidency to avoid APP shielding the investigations. This is because Torres Saravia is close to that political group.
The RP legislator also assured that her group will evaluate whether it supports a motion of censure against Salhuana.
On that same topic, he requested the change of the Chief Officer, Giovanni Forno, because at the Torres Saravia hearing he did not know how to respond clearly about his hiring in the position. This is because he said he did not remember who gave him his resume to fill that position. Also, he requested more changes in positions in the Legislature.
Gentlemen, I know how Congress works and I see that many are angry that I demand a transparent investigation. The Security area responsible for the cameras, the Chief Officer’s Office, the DGA and any personnel who obstruct an investigation must respond. Whoever falls falls and…

Perú21 has announced that there is a request from five groups to temporarily elect him from office until the investigations into the Andrea Vidal case in the Oversight Commission are completed.
CHRONICLE OF AN ANNOUNCED APEPIST SHIELD?
As recalled, the administrative investigation of the pimping case in Congress, in whose plot is the murder with 70 bullets of the former worker, Andrea Vidal Gómez, and the participation of the former head of the Legal Counsel Office, Jorge Luis Torres Saravia, in a prostitution network, would be the chronicle of an announced coinage shield.
Because? This, because APP could return the favor to Torres Saravia when he saved the former president of the Legislature, Alejandro Soto, on August 29, 2023, through a legal opinion, in which he said that there was no crime of nepotism when the legislator from Alianza Para el Progreso (APP) hired, in his office, the mother of his son.
Jorge Torres Saravia shielded Alejandro Soto in his report in which he said that there was no nepotism in the hiring of the mother of his son when there was. Now, APP would also save him in the pimping investigations.
That assessment he made prevented the Ethics Commission from initiating an investigation and suspending his position as a congressman for up to 120 days.
This shield tacitly announced to Torres Saravia – who is close to APP, despite not being a militant – follows from the fact that the head of Human Resources, Haydi Figueroa – a supporter of APP – was the official who ordered the formation of the Ad Hoc Commission who will carry out the administrative investigation of this case.
In 2020, he began working as an advisor to then congressman Luis Valdez, current general secretary of APP.
Haidy Figueroa orders the investigation and the formation of the Ad Hoc Commission, which would be judge and party.
The other six heads linked to APP are: Carlos Luis País Vera, current general director of Parliament Administration, with a salary of S/26,227.
In 2017, País Vera was the representative of the company Negociaciones Rafaela SAC, in which the son of César Acuña, president of APP, was a director.
In 2017, he was the representative of the company Negociaciones Rafaela SAC, in which César Acuña’s son, Richard Acuña, was a director.
The other senior official close to APP is the head of the Budget Area, Yolanda Ríos Mendoza, with a salary of S/15,470. He was a member of Acuña’s party until 2021.
The other senior manager close to the coiners is Iván Esteban Saldaña Estrada, current head of the General Services Department, with a salary of S/19,277. Between 2019 and 2020 he was an advisor to former congressman Richard Acuña and Luis Valdez. Between July 2021 and August 2022, he was an advisor to the APP bench in Parliament.
William Alcántara Infantes, who is currently head of the Planning and Budget Office, has a salary of S/19,277, and has been an advisor to Richard Acuña and the APP bench, between 2019 and 2021.
Jorge Cruzalegui, in 2017, was head of the Preinvestment Studies Office in the management of the regional government of Lambayeque, when its president was Humberto Acuña, brother of César Acuña.
Cruzalegui currently holds the position of head of the Clearing Area, with a salary of S/15,470. He assumed this leadership in September 2023, when the president of Congress was the coiner Alejandro Soto.
Finally, closing the list is Jaqueline Lozano Millones, who is active in APP, and is the current head of the Center for Training Modalities, with a generous salary of S/19,277.
He was hired in that position – after entering Parliament in 2020 as an advisor to the current secretary general of APP, Luis Valdez – by the former head of Congress, Alejandro Soto.
On the 13th of this month, after the scandal broke out, he was fired by Salhuana.
However, in Parliament, they could do the same thing that Saravia did with Soto: shield him.
