Palace Records Show Three Visits by Businessman Linked to Secret Dinner With President Jerí

New visitation logs point to repeated contact, intensifying calls for congressional scrutiny.

Overview

  • Official logs confirm Zhihua Yang entered the Government Palace on December 12 (53 minutes), December 29 (about three hours), and January 5 (one hour 17 minutes).
  • Each entry was recorded as a meeting with the Executive’s strategic communications and press office rather than a direct appointment with the president.
  • President José Jerí acknowledges the late‑night restaurant meeting was a mistake of form, denies any criminal conduct, and says he will answer the Congressional Oversight Committee in writing.
  • Political figures, including Fernando Olivera, and media editorials urge a full inquiry and question why formal diplomatic channels were not used.
  • Public records link Yang to multiple companies and show a Culture Ministry sanction for an unauthorized demolition at Jirón Puno 1067 in Lima.
