In your case, the fifth citation It was scheduled for this Wednesday the 23rd despite the fact that the former head of state notified that he was traveling from the 21st to the 25th of this month.
In addition, Martín Vizcarra asserted that he did attend on the fourth rescheduling date together with his lawyer, on November 18, but withdrew from said session due to the existence of a time difference in which virtual attention to a former minister was prioritized over hers, which led to her withdrawing from the session at 10:00 a.m.
