Overview
- Reports say President José Jerí met at night in December with Chinese businessman Zhihua Yang at a San Borja restaurant without official registration.
- Congressman Héctor Valer called for the Ministerio Público to open a case and alleged Jerí arrived in camouflage using an official vehicle known as “el Cofre,” claims he says require clarification.
- Valer also pointed to purported links between the businessman and interests in Petroperú and Distriluz, framing potential conflicts that he argues merit prosecutorial review.
- Congressman Luis Kamiche urged the president to explain the meeting but said the episode alone does not justify a vacancia, warning that frequent removals deepen political instability.
- No formal investigation or removal proceeding was reported as of Friday, while public scrutiny grew after a journalist criticized Jerí’s defense that he “knows the laws.”
