A relevant piece of information is that Chinese companies, which bill billions of dollars in the world, joined a consortium with INIP Ingeniería Integración de Proyectos; however, the Peruvian company lacked experience in the field of public works. What convinced Li Qingyong to associate with the brothers Roberto, Alexander and Alejandro Aguilar Quispe, who had not won any tenders with the State? Probably because the Aguilar Quispes were linked to people who had the influence to manipulate Provías Nacional’s contracts?

The Chinese Li Qingyong met with Congressman Doroteo in the company of Alexander Aguilar Quispe, brother of Roberto and Alejandro Aguilar Quispe, owners of the company INIP Ingeniería Integración de Proyectos, favored by the government, according to Karelim López.

During the tax interrogations, the Aguilar Quispe brothers will probably be encouraged to tell everything and reveal how they related to the Chinese Li Qingyong, and reveal what was the formula they used to win millionaire contracts with Provías Nacional in half a year of the Pedro Castillo government. . Without a doubt, a record.
