Peruvian Presidents Under Investigation for Money Laundering

Peruvian prosecutors are investigating President Dina Boluarte and former president Pedro Castillo for alleged money laundering as part of a criminal organization, as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged campaign finance crimes committed during Peru's 2021 presidential race. Castillo was removed from office in December after attempting to dissolve Congress before an impeachment vote. Boluarte denied receiving illegal campaign contributions and said corruption accusations were a "political maneuver" seeking to undermine her government.
