The Peruvian government criticized this Saturday (30) the operation carried out at President Dina Boluarte's home, as part of investigations into alleged illicit enrichment and failure to declare luxury watches, calling the action “disproportionate and unconstitutional”.
“The political noise that is being made is serious, which affects investments and the entire country,” wrote Peruvian Prime Minister, Gustavo Adrianzen, in X.
“What happened in the last few hours are disproportionate and unconstitutional actions,” he added.
Footage showed police breaking down the door of Boluarte's home on Friday night (29), reportedly after requests from authorities to open it and allow them to search for evidence went unanswered.
Radio station RPP stated that Boluarte was not there at the time of the operation. She did not comment on the operation.
The head of state's house is located in the Surquillo neighborhood, in the district of Lima, a few kilometers from the Government Palace, where she works.
Adrianzen highlighted that the president was at her residence inside the government palace, and that she will give statements to the prosecutor's office when called. He also told the RPP that there is “no chance whatsoever” that the ministers or Boluarte will resign.
Two weeks ago, prosecutors began preliminary investigations after a report on the La-Encerrona program stated that the president owned several Rolex watches. The inquiry aims to determine whether there are grounds for a formal investigation against the Peruvian leader.
Boluarte admitted to having the watches, which he bought as a “fruit of labor” from a young age.
