As it was known, Portocarrero would have decided to collaborate with justice. In that sense, he declared yesterday the origin of the more than 42 thousand soles that were found in his backpack when they intervened, everything would have come from Clever Mercado who gave the orders. Police sources pointed out that these statements also involve some regional government officials, councilors and even participants in these municipal and regional elections.

Mercado, in the transcription of the audios that was made yesterday, remained silent. It should be noted that since his capture, the lieutenant governor has preferred not to speak. What was known is that since last Tuesday the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office has been transcribing the audios recorded by the counselor José Villazana where Clever Mercado would be exposed. In the “face-to-face” carried out yesterday, the official betrayed the people who sent him to deliver the money and said that he would collaborate with justice.

For his part, the regional governor Fernando Orihuela also referred to the case. He said that after this impasse he would return to the position to resume the works. “In the case of the Police, we have prepared a file to strengthen all its development, which consists of the purchase of 50 patrol cars and 100 linear motorcycles for all the police stations,” he said.
