Through the Area of Illicit Enrichment and Constitutional Complaints of the Attorney General’s Office, a request has been made to the President of the Republic, Dina Ercilia Boluarte Zegarra, refer, within 24 hoursthe documents that certify the state of health that motivated her to undergo surgery on her nose and the 91 original regulations that she claims to have signed between June 28 and July 9, 2023.

Likewise, he pointed out that the president is protected by article 117 of the Constitution, so the Legislature must authorize the preparatory investigation to begin, meanwhile the political pretrial cannot begin.
“If said information is not delivered, at least one of the following two things will occur: at the time of concluding the investigation, the Public Ministry will evaluate said conduct, in harmony with other elements of information that it has collected, and, Depending on the set of information, you may have strengthened your research hypotheses or, if not, you must assess whether or not there are sufficient elements of conviction to take your case to the next phase, that is, evaluate whether you are going to file an accusation or archive the case. Separate merit is the question procedural, since as we know the president is protected by the anachronistic article 117 of the Constitution and to move to the preparatory phase (…) authorization or approval of Congress is required, which as we know has abdicated its constitutional duties in its desire to protect Mrs. Boluarte,” declared for La República.
