Peruvian police conducted a raid on President Dina Boluarte’s house, forcibly entering in search of luxury watches as part of an investigation into possible illicit enrichment. Boluarte is being investigated for acquiring luxury watches without disclosing them, with the probe initiated after she was seen wearing a Rolex watch on television. Her lawyer mentioned that police found several watches during the search at the presidential palace. The president’s government is facing criticism for its response to the investigation and its efforts to delay legal appearances, amid accusations of authoritarian behavior and threats to judicial independence. Boluarte is scheduled to testify on April 5, with concerns raised over the political and economic implications of the crisis.
