Yenifer Paredes would have used stamps from former Cajamarca community authorities to direct a work

A report by Punto Final revealed that President Pedro Castillo’s sister-in-law, Yenifer Paredeswould have used stamps of former authorities of a peasant community of Cajamarca to presumably direct the award of a work to his friend, the businessman Hugo Espino Lucana.

According to the investigative unit of the Sunday program, Paredes Navarro prepared the ground for the approval of a S/4 million water and sanitation project in Lanchepampa, a rural community 8 hours from Cajamarca.

As is recalled, during the raid by the Prosecutor’s Office on the house of Yenifer Paredes The seals of the municipal agent, the lieutenant governor and the president of the peasant patrols of said community were found. The same stamps that, with signatures, appear in the socialization act of the millionaire sanitation project.

In dialogue with this program, Second Delgado Cabrerawho held the position of municipal agent of Lanchepampa from January to December 2021, denied that he had stamped his seal and his signature on the act of socialization of the work that is dated February 5, 2022.

“This is not, this is not my ID and it is not my name. My name is not Eduardo, I am Segundo. This is what Eduardo says (…) and then he was no longer an agent. Every December, at the end of the year, the board is changed. That’s annual, per year”, clarified the former municipal agent.

For its part, Second Bustamante Ortizwho during 2021 was president of the Lanchepampa peasant rounds, explained that he was also unable to sign the minutes dated 2022, since he no longer held the aforementioned position there.

Likewise, Bustamante Ortiz maintained that in September or October 2021 they received a visit from Yenifer Paredes and Hugo Espino to give them details of the works they intended to execute. In that sense, he pointed out that the sister-in-law of the head of state asked him and other community authorities for their stamps to get a copy with the intention that they be more “legible”.

“In that project, of course, the stamps weren’t, kind of blurry, right? Miss Yenifer as she was doing the project there, she tells us: ‘you know that, to make it more legible, we are going to make a copy of those stamps’. I mean, in the end she didn’t give us up. She didn’t give us”, he stated.

The Sunday newspaper added that there was a will to promote the project from the Ministry of Housing, since on June 13, 2022, the former Budget Director of this ministry, Jackeline Castañeda, sent other officials a bill commissioned by former Minister Geiner Alvarado. This sought to approve more financing for a list of projects including Lanchepampa.
