Lima.- So was highlighted by several media outlets reporting leaks of the president’s statement on Tuesday, behind closed doors, in the framework of a preliminary investigation for genocide, aggravated homicide, and other possible charges.

The president’s lawyer Joseph Campos assured that Boluarte only answered questions from the Prosecutor’s Office. The head of Government refused to reply to questions of the state prosecutor’s office, and those asked by lawyers of the victims’ families because she considered that they should not participate in the hearing.
