“The investigation already has some time. Until now, all the proceedings have not linked Karelim López with the purchase of biodiesel, so this proceeding surprises me tremendously.

Likewise, Nakazaki was consulted about an alleged meeting between López and the manager of Petroperú; However, the lawyer assured that his client has “no relationship” with him.
The crimes for which the aforementioned persons are being investigated are related to the public administration in the form of simple collusion and incompatible negotiation.
