The president’s lawyer Dina Boluarte, Juan Carlos Portugal, recommended the president’s brother, Nicanor Boluartemaintain “his current situation”, given the 36-month preventive detention issued against him for the investigations of the case “The Waykis in the Shadow“.
Likewise, the lawyer questioned Judge Richard Concepción, who issued the measure against the presidential brother.
“If Nicanor is listening to me, I would recommend that he keep himself in that condition, just as I would recommend it to any human being who suffers from the scourge of that particular judge. I owe it to the right of conscientious objection not to abide by unjust and arbitrary decisions Let’s wait for the appeal,” he said on RPP.
Likewise, Portugal did not rule out that both brothers have spoken in recent days and pointed out that there is no restriction. In that sense, he considered that the Public Ministry has not been able to formulate a case that links the president with “Los Waykis en la Sombra.”
“The presence of the president has been much discussed and the Prosecutor’s Office itself has not been able to build a case with her and if there was one, with what the importance of the president means, it would have been able to say it. And in several passages of that supposed structure , appointment or designation, the Prosecutor’s Office itself has not made mention of any covert desire, of irregular intervention by my client,” he said.
On the other hand, the head of state’s lawyer announced that if his client is summoned by the Prosecutor’s Office, he will have the right not to testify.
“She could take advantage of her right to abstain, not to remain silent, which rests only on those investigated; she can refrain from testifying given the direct link she has with one of those investigated. I would recommend this,” he said.
