Presidential Adviser Stephany Vega Defends Cash Purchases, Says She’ll Cooperate After TV Probe

She attributes the funds to bank‑recorded savings, an AFP withdrawal, a family loan.

Overview

  • An investigative report by Panorama detailed Vega’s rapid rise from a 2021 congressional assistant to a high‑direction adviser at the PCM earning over S/16,000 a month by 2025.
  • Between 2023 and 2025 she bought an Audi, a BMW valued at about S/60,000, and an apartment with parking for US$120,000 with partner Arturo Cervantes, with all transactions paid in cash.
  • Vega told Panorama her assets stem from lifetime savings, an approximately S/25,000 AFP withdrawal, and a US$20,000 family loan, asserting the money is fully documented through banks.
  • Panorama cited executive sources who describe her as unusually powerful inside Government Palace, while Vega rejected claims of special influence and said her promotions were earned on merit.
  • Records also show her as co‑owner of a Miraflores bar formed with S/20,000 in capital, which she now says operates at a loss, and she stated she is ready to appear before the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the judiciary.
