"Peruvian President Denies Rolexgate Scandal Amid Impeachment Attempt"
Peru's president, Dina Boluarte, has dismissed an investigation into her use of luxury watches as a "smoke-screen", denying wrongdoing and claiming the items were loaned to her. The scandal, known as Rolexgate, has embroiled her government in a political crisis and forced her to reshuffle her cabinet. Boluarte faces allegations of illicit enrichment and a separate investigation over her role in the killings of 49 people during protests. She blamed her lawyer for advising her not to address the country earlier and called on prosecutors to be more professional, dismissing the investigation as a "lie" and a "smoke-screen".
