Peru at a crossroads
Bruno Pacheco is a fugitive. Those who assist in its capture will receive 30,000 soles as a reward. He is the former secretary general of the Peruvian head of state Pedro Castillo. In Bruno’s case, 20,000 USD was found in his toilet in the palace, well hidden in the box of the water flush. Gian Marco Castillo and Fray Vasquez Castillo are also wanted. They are about corruption, the formation of a criminal organization and money laundering. The two are the nephews of the current head of state. They have disappeared without a trace for over four weeks.
Yesterday, Monday, her case was finally to be heard in court. Just a few hours earlier, there was a blaze on the 12th floor of the Peruvian police headquarters in Lima. This is exactly where the Money Laundering Investigation Department is or was located.
A week ago, Pedro Castillo survived his second impeachment trial, yet he has only been in power since July 28, 2021. Three prime ministers have failed during this period, and the fourth, Aníbal Torres, has been in charge since February 8, led, of course, by the president.
Currently, there is unrest with violent riots and looting in nine states of the country. Peru quo vadis? Peru where are you going?
