Former Minister of Transport and Communications John Silva He was contacted by government emissaries to coordinate his escape from the country after spending more than two months in hiding. This was confirmed before the special team of prosecutors by an effective collaborator, according to sources in Peru21.
“They know that if Silva falls, the government falls,” said one of the sources. The former minister and very close friend of President Castillo could well, with his statement, confirm and add more information to the statements that he has already been providing —from a safe house— former secretary Bruno Pacheco.
At the stroke of midnight, this newspaper learned that the former head of the MTC had shown his willingness to turn himself in to the authorities yesterday. However, last night this did not happen as planned.
According to other sources, the government offers Silva “everything”, including getting him out of the country. The former minister was last seen on June 2. A week ago, his lawyer, Alfredo Yalán, had said that his sponsor would turn himself in.
