The Public Prosecutor of Peru has announced the opening of a new investigation into the country’s president, Dina Boluarte, for the deaths of at least 17 people on Monday in the southern Andean nation’s town of Juliaca. “An investigation into preliminary procedures corresponding to the December events is already underway. And today we take the decision to open a new tax file,” announced the country’s Attorney General Patricia Benavides.
In statements by Trujillo, Benavides has claimed that the prosecution “will not let any death go unpunished” and has praised the opening of these investigations against “the senior officials responsible for everything that happens”.
The Prosecutor’s Office has confirmed that the investigation concerns “alleged crimes of genocide, aggravated homicide and serious injury, committed during the demonstrations in the months of December 2022 and January 2023 in the regions of Apurímac, La Libertad, Puno, Junín, Arequipa and Ayacucho “.
Similarly, according to a ministerial statement, the preliminary investigation includes, in addition to Boluarte, the Prime Minister, Alberto Otárola; the Interior Minister, Víctor Rojas; Defense Minister Jorge Chávez. Former Prime Minister Pedro Ángulo is also under investigation, as is former Interior Minister César Cervantes, both in office at the start of Boluarte’s term.
