The defense of rights presented in a petition by the defense of Peruvian President Dina Boluarte during the Rolex investigation against her for charges of illicit enrichment and other crimes to the detriment of the State has been declared unfounded by the Peruvian judiciary. This was reported by the court’s press service on May 26.
“The decision was issued by the Supreme Court in a preliminary investigation under the direction of Judge Juan Checkley, who considered that the defense arguments raised in this appeal had no factual or legal basis.”says the conclusion.
Previously, the president’s lawyers questioned the violation of the right to defense and equality of arms, since the prosecutor’s office did not allow the defense to interfere in cases of extraction of information from open sources.

Let us remember that since March the scandal caused by the discovery of Boluarte’s riches has not subsided in Peru. We’re talking expensive Rolex watches and gold bracelets with diamonds that she didn’t declare. Peruvian prosecutors are conducting a preliminary investigation into Boluarte after she was found to be wearing a Rolex watch and other undeclared luxury jewelry. The accusation alleges that the governor of Ayacucho, Wilfredo Oscorima, gave the decorations to Boluarte in exchange for the enormous emergency resources that the president had approved for his region.
Prosecutors are investigating charges of illicit enrichment, failure to declare wealth and passive bribery. Oskorima also faces the latter charge.
