Police arrest brother and lawyer of Peru's president in Rolex scandal probe • FRANCE 24 English
Peruvian authorities arrested President Dina Boluarte’s brother and lawyer Friday over influence-peddling accusations, a day after the South American country’s government disbanded a police unit that assisted prosecutors in investigating the president’s inner circle. The developments mark the latest step in mounting pressure on Boluarte, who became president in December 2022 when she replaced then-president Pedro Castillo. He was dismissed by Parliament and is now imprisoned while being investigated for alleged corruption and rebellion.
