Dina Boluarte and former ministers face constitutional complaint for the Matarani case
The former president Dina Boluarte was constitutionally denounced before the Congress for alleged irregularities in the extension of the concession contract of the Matarani Port to the company Tisur SA. The accusation, presented by the congressman Edwin Martinezalso reached the former ministers Raul Perez-Reyes (Economy) and Cesar Sandoval (Transports), who signed the addendum that extended the concession for an additional 30 years without public competition.
According to the complaint, the Addendum No. 5 violated the principles of free competition and transparency in public procurement by directly favoring the concessionaire company. The document warns that this decision contravenes articles 58, 61 and 76 of the Political Constitution of Peruwhich prohibit the direct award of contracts without competitive processes.
The prosecution requests that Boluarte and his former ministers are disqualified for 10 years to hold public office and that the case be referred to the Public Ministry. They are accused of the alleged crimes of collusion, incompatible negotiation and improper use of office.
