Former Minister of Transport and Communications Juan Silva Villegas will sue the businesswoman karelim lopez for the alleged crimes of libelcalumny and defamation as a result of the statements of the aspiring effective collaborator before the Audit and Comptroller Commission of Congress, to which he assured that he met with the former official.
In a letter sent on April 27, Silva Villegas maintains that he was “totally stunned, surprised, astonished and disconcerted” after hearing the lobbyist assure that they held meetings when he was serving as Minister of Transport and Communications.
“A fact that is totally false because I have never met with you as a minister. I repeat, I have never met with you, ever. Nor have I met with you as a private natural person. Specifically: I have never met with you either as a public official or as a natural person”, reads in the letter accessed by La República.

Given this, the former head of Transportation urged López Arredondo to prove “legally and publicly”, within 72 hours, “the indications, elements of conviction or evidence that prove their versions regarding the alleged meetings.”
“If you do not show me, within the granted period, all the indications, elements of conviction or evidence regarding the false facts that you have been indicating about me (…) and, by injuring my honor and good reputation (…), I will file a complaint with the Judiciary for libel, slander and defamation, demanding compensation for an amount not less than 5 million soles”, the text prays.
