Overview
- The Congressional Ethics Commission scheduled a 4:00 p.m. session on Nov. 3 to evaluate an ex officio complaint that could open a formal investigation.
- Members will also consider Expediente N.°216-2024-2025/CEP-CR concerning alleged salary cuts to former staff from Vásquez’s office.
- The case stems from a Cuarto Poder report showing an adviser cutting Vásquez’s toenails during working hours and another aide apparently cooking for her inside Congress.
- Commission president Elvis Vergara requested the case be placed on the agenda following the broadcast.
- Vásquez denies wrongdoing and calls the report a revenge by ex-staff, while adviser Edward Rengifo Pezo defends his actions as humanitarian and claims she has advanced cancer.
