LIME – The Peruvian Justice Department rejected for the second time a request from the prosecution to prohibit former President Dina Boluarte from leaving the country, while investigations continue against her for an alleged crime of omission of duties related to a series of cosmetic operations.
Judge Juan Carlos Checkley rejected the prosecutor’s request to impose an 18-month ban on leaving the country, considering the risk of flight unfounded. In less than three years, Boluarte has accumulated seven open investigations, in addition to at least three others initiated before assuming the presidency, characterized by a management marked by political and social conflict.
According to the court ruling, the alleged economic and family ties that the former president maintains abroad do not constitute sufficient arguments to support the fear that she will evade justice while the investigations progress.
“Investigation”
The so-called case “Surgeries” It is one of the several processes that Boluarte faces. The prosecution is investigating whether the former president was absent from her duties to undergo cosmetic interventions without informing Congress and whether she would have favored the doctor Mario Cabani Ravello, who treated her, with benefits within the public health system.
In addition to this file, Boluarte is the subject of other investigations for alleged acts of corruption and for his political responsibility in the deaths of 49 people during the protests registered between the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023.
