In a recent press conference, Gustavo Adrianzenthe president of the Council of Ministers, addressed the controversy surrounding Ruth Ligarda Castro, personal escort of President Dina Boluarte, who was appointed to a diplomatic mission in Spain for a period of two years.
Adrianzén clarified that this international assignment does not exempt Ligarda from complying with his legal obligations, since She is considered a key witness in the case called ‘El Cofre’.
“Just because a member of the Armed Forces or the National Police leaves the country to join an attaché office abroad does not mean that they have to stop fulfilling their commitments or obligations,” he highlighted.
In addition, he assured that, if required by the Prosecutor’s Office or the Judiciary, his statement could be taken through virtual means. “We are not taking her to a place where she is going to cut off relations with her obligations as a citizen of the Peruvian State,” he added.
He spoke about the preliminary detention law
At another time, Adrianzén reported on the possible approval of a law sent by Congress that seeks to restore the figure of preliminary detention for cases of non-flagrant detention.
He explained that the Executive is evaluating the regulations, awaiting opinions from relevant sectors.
“We assume that in what is happening today and tomorrow we should have this information so that with all this the decision can be made as to whether it is going to be observed or enacted,” he pointed out.
