Peruvian President Dina Boluarte's Home Raided in Luxury Watch Investigation

The unprecedented search is part of a corruption probe into Boluarte's undeclared collection of luxury watches, including Rolexes.

Peruvian police used a battering ram to enter President Dina Boluarte's residence, marking the first time a sitting president's home has been forcibly searched in Peru's history.
The investigation, dubbed 'Rolexgate,' focuses on Boluarte's possession of at least 14 luxury watches, some of which were not declared to the National Elections Jury.
Prime Minister Gustavo Adrianzen and other political allies have criticized the raid as 'disproportionate and unconstitutional,' arguing it attacks Boluarte's dignity and affects investments.
Prosecutors have emphasized Boluarte's obligation to produce the three Rolex watches for investigation, cautioning against their disposal or destruction.
The political crisis exacerbates Peru's history of instability, with six presidents in the last six years, and raises concerns over the government's increasingly authoritarian stance.
