A former public official was apprehended today in the Ernesto Córdoba Campos area on charges of a crime against the public administration. The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, supported by the National Police and the Judicial Investigation Directorate, conducted a search as part of an ongoing investigation. The allegations point to incidents that occurred between 2014 and 2018, when the Comptroller General's Office detected that this former official had accumulated unjustified enrichment exceeding B/.400,000, far more than his official income could justify. The detainee will be presented before a Guarantees Judge, who will decide on the measures to be applied while the investigation proceeds. The operation serves as a reminder that, despite the passage of time, authorities remain vigilant in ensuring the country's resources are managed with transparency.
