Overview
- The Ethics Committee approved the preliminary probe with nine votes following the broadcast by Cuarto Poder.
- Footage cited in the complaint shows a parliamentary coordinator driving Orué to a gym during work hours and waiting outside.
- The case also scrutinizes the hiring of Renzo Basurco, identified in reports as the partner of Orué’s sister, with an official salary of 10,000 soles per month.
- Orué rejects accusations of nepotism, says the images are not recent, and argues the hiring complied with congressional rules reviewed by the Clerk’s Office and Human Resources.
- Investigators will assess whether to escalate to a broader case, while the same session also advanced other files involving lawmakers such as Lucinda Vásquez and Segundo Montalvo Cubas.
