"Peru's President Replaces Ministers Amid Jewelry Scandal and Police Raid"

Peru's President Dina Boluarte replaced six ministers after they resigned amid a political scandal involving luxury watches, with police raiding her home and office in search of evidence related to the high-end Rolex watches. Boluarte, who denies any wrongdoing, faced resignations from key ministers who voiced support for her, while the prime minister aims to secure a vote of support from the opposition-controlled Congress. This adds to the political volatility in Peru, which has seen six presidents in as many years.

"Peruvian President's Home Raided in Rolex Scandal"

Police and prosecutors in Peru raided President Dina Boluarte's home and the presidential palace as part of an investigation into her alleged unlawful enrichment, prompted by reports of her wearing Rolex watches and a $50,000 bracelet. Boluarte had failed to appear for a scheduled appointment with prosecutors and refused to allow them into her house to execute a search warrant. The investigation stems from suspicions of her violating the country's laws against unlawful enrichment and failing to declare assets, as elected authorities in Peru are required to report assets worth more than 10,300 soles and disclose gifts received from third parties.
