Overview

• Multiple security videos broadcast by Peruvian programs show a pickup striking Christian Rodríguez’s vehicle before Salcedo exits and punches and kicks him in the street in front of his wife and 10-year-old son.
• Rodríguez received medical attention, including stitches to the head and observation for a concussion, with his lawyer noting preexisting conditions that could worsen the impact of the assault.
• A formal criminal complaint has been filed against Salcedo, and Rodríguez’s account to authorities details earlier threats, surveillance, and confrontations dating back to March.
• After initially remarking “bien merecido,” Salcedo reappeared on camera in a preview for Amor y Fuego to offer public apologies and later denied issuing threats, calling parts of the complaint exaggerated.
• Maju Mantilla publicly condemned the violence, said she has not suffered abuse, and stated she is seeking a conciliatory arrangement focused on the welfare of her children.
