Overview
- The commission opened the matter de oficio after Cuarto Poder showed adviser Edward Rengifo cutting the congresswoman’s toenails inside her congressional office during working hours.
- The agenda also includes an existing ethics file tied to alleged wage irregularities involving former staff of her office (Exp. N.°216-2024-2025/CEP-CR).
- Juntos por el Perú said it suspended some of Vásquez’s rights within the caucus in response to the controversy.
- Rengifo is expected to be summoned; he told media he acted out of humanity due to her health, while Vásquez called the material a revenge by former employees.
- Any disciplinary recommendation, including admonition or suspension of up to 120 days without pay, must be approved by the full Congress.
