José Jerí will respond to him Public Ministry. According to sources of Peru21the head of state has confirmed his attendance at the headquarters of the Public Ministry for this Friday, January 30, where he will have to respond to the Nation’s Prosecutor Tomás Gálvez for the meetings held with the Chinese businessman Yang Zhihua, known as “Johnny.”
Unlike the option of receiving the magistrates at the Government Palace, Jerí has decided to go directly to the tax office. The statement taking will focus on the links between his private dinners at a chifa in San Borja and the recent awarding of a service order for S/35 thousand to the company Nuctech Perú SAC. This company, linked to the surroundings of Yang Zhihua’s building, obtained its first contract with the Presidential Office as soon as the current president’s administration began.
When the Chifagate case was revealed, José Jerí announced through a document that he was being made available to the Public Ministry to be investigated for the same case. At the same time, he did the same with the Congressional Oversight Commission, which he attended last Wednesday, January 21.
Prosecutor Tomás Gálvez will seek to determine if these meetings “in the shadows” ultimately constituted a crime by the newly appointed President of the Republic.
For his part, the president has described these meetings as “circumstantial” and assures that the hiring of security was a regular technical process. “He who owes nothing, fears nothing,” Jerí told the press, ruling out any intention to resign before his appointment with Gálvez.
