Three days after it was announced that the Palace had refused to provide the names of the drivers to Parliament, the spokesman for the Presidency, Fredy Hinojosa, considered it “unnecessary” for the drivers who drove the presidential vehicle last February to appear before the Oversight Commission.
Vladimir Cerrón: The presidential car was in Asia on February 27
This, after last Thursday, the president of the Fiscalización, Juan Burgos, announced that he will summon the drivers of the presidential vehicle or ‘cofre’, who drove that vehicle between February 24 and 27 of this year, date on which Vladimir Cerrón, a fugitive from justice for almost a year, was allegedly transported to the Pisco airport, so that he could flee the country to Bolivia, Venezuela or Cuba.

Perú21 had access to the February payroll, and on that date there were 19 drivers. The Attorney General’s Office will do its part.

“It is not only unnecessary, but also irresponsible to expose on national television an officer, a non-commissioned officer of our National Police who provides a service for which he has been trained and is part of a specialized Police unit, precisely, in these notions. And, in front of his family, to expose him before the citizens and the entire country, and to put him in the dock, to use a colloquial term, to expose a fact that is totally simple,” he said.
“In this regard, we urge the members of the Oversight Committee to act responsibly, obviously, by fulfilling their duties. The Executive has always been respectful of the exercise of the functions of other constitutionally autonomous bodies.”
The spokesman also said that the “safe” assigned to Dina Boluarte’s transport was used on the weekend of February 24 for “family activities” by the president.
He denied that the presidential vehicle had been used to transport fugitive Vladimir Cerrón to Ica.
He also denied that on February 27 it passed through the Chilca toll booth heading towards Ica, and specified that the concessionaire’s document indicates that the ‘box’ did pass through the Chilca toll booth, but on February 24, and stressed that it did not leave Lima.
The president of the Oversight Committee, Juan Burgos, stated, as we recall, last Wednesday, based on a document sent by the Peruvian Highway Concessionaire (CoviPerú) to his working group, in which he indicates that the presidential vehicle, with license plate EGR-844, also called ‘cofre’, or ‘Dinamóvil’, moved through the Ica toll booth on February 27, heading to said city.
Last Friday, President Dina Boluarte confirmed that the presidential vehicle had not been in Ica on February 27.
Last Saturday, La República reported that the presidential vehicle with license plate EGR844 left the Government Palace at 7:15 in the morning on Saturday the 24th and returned at 9:37 in the morning the following day, Sunday the 25th.
According to the document, it was driven by First Class PNP Officer Félix Enrique Montalvo Guevara.
A report by Cuarto Poder revealed that the presidential vehicle with license plate EGR844 was photographed a few meters away from the Mikonos condominium, near the beaches of Asia, where a month earlier Cerrón Rojas was sought, who has been a fugitive from justice for almost a year.
