President Dina Boluarte is in the eye of the storm due to an investigation for alleged illicit enrichment. The president, a 61-year-old lawyer, was questioned this Friday by the Attorney General's Office.
The prosecutor's office building, located in the historic center of Lima, was surrounded by bars, riot police and journalists. Peru, which has been governed by six presidents in six years, is suffering from the worst dengue epidemic in its history and is experiencing an increase in crime.
