Lima.- President Ollanta Humala’s wife is in the eye of the storm for $215,000 that she received as income between 2006 and 2009
A Peruvian prosecutor opened a preliminary investigation into a complaint of alleged money laundering against Nadine Heredia, wife of Peruvian President Ollanta Humala, and her brother, Ilan Heredia, confirmed the acting attorney general of Peru, Pablo Sánchez.
«This is a complaint made by a person before the Money Laundering Prosecutor’s Office. It is a complaint that deserves a qualification and, in the specific case, the prosecutor has opened a preliminary investigation to see if what he says is true or not,” Sánchez told the radio station Radio San Borja.
The attorney general, who holds the position on an interim basis for six months, added that these types of investigations follow this regular procedure and do not go through his office, but “directly through the competent prosecutor’s office.”
The newspaper Correo reported on Sunday that the First Prosecutor’s Office, headed by prosecutor Ricardo Rojas León, opened a preliminary investigation in this case for a period of 180 days for an alleged transfer of powers to manage a Heredia bank account, as well as deposits of money made between 2006 and 2008.
Prosecutor Sánchez emphasized that his institution will not accept interference or pressure of any kind during this preliminary investigation and said that he has given instructions to “work objectively, in accordance with the law and the Constitution.”
«We will not accept interference or pressure of any kind from any person. Our investigations are objective; If there is evidence, good; “If there is no evidence, it will not be reported,” he concluded.
