The case of the harmful food mafia from the Qali Warma state program, given by the Government to poor children in the country, escalates until it points to the spokesperson for President Dina Boluarte, Fredy Hinojosain a plot that includes the use of horse meat to fake it for beef.
The saleswoman Noemi Alvaradofrom the company Frigoinca, supplier of Qali Warma investigated by the Prosecutor’s Office, told the program ‘Cuarto Poder’, on América Televisión, that since 2021 schoolchildren have received from the State horse meat for beef in canned goods from this company and that bribes were given to government officials.
Alvarado argued that she seeks to be an effective collaborator with the Prosecutor’s Office and that she feared for her life because she distrusted the owner of the firm, Nilo Burga, and that his lawyer, former minister Félix Chero, suggested that she accuse herself of bribery before prosecutors.
The case broke out when Alvarado’s cell phone revealed his messages about bribes to Qali Warma workers for hide evidence of products that poisoned schoolchildren from Puno and Cajamarca, among other regions, as revealed by the television program ‘Punto final’, on the Latina channel, a month ago.
“Some lots were pure horse, some lots were pure beef, and some ‘cabecado’ lots,” Alvarado told ‘Cuarto Poder’ this time.

He said that they brought horse meat from a slaughterhouse in Huancayo and presented photos of remains in that place and an analysis report on the product at the request of Burga due to a controversy.
Alvarado says he fears his former boss. “Nilo Burga is already sending me to look for me (…) and he is going to silence me. “I know how far he is capable, I know how bad he is,” he told the program.
She added that in 2021 her boss took her to a meeting with a Qali Warma official named Víctor Salazar Condor and that he told her that Fredy Hinojosa, then director of the social program and today the president’s spokesperson in the Palace, would help them. Boluarte was Minister of Development and Social Inclusion, a sector in charge of Qali Warma.

“I told him there are no problems or I’ll talk to Fredy, I’ll handle it, he’s not going to do anything,” he said.
Hinojosa has denied having ties to Friogoinca. He and Burga agree that they come from Aprismo.
