The Office of Information Analysis of the Military House has reported that the loss of information from three security cameras of the Government Palace, on August 9, the day in which the Special Team of the Prosecutor’s Office once morest corruption in Power and of the PNP arrived to enforce the ten-day preliminary arrest warrant once morest Yenifer Paredes Navarro, sister-in-law of President Pedro Castillo.
This is stated in a report sent to the head of the Military House, PNP General José Antonio Mariscal Quiroz, dated yesterday, to which El Comercio had access.
The report bears the signature of the head of the information analysis area, Lieutenant Colonel EP (commander) Arturo Manuel Mendoza López, who informs the head of the Military House that last Monday the operator of the Closed Circuit television cameras ( CCTV) reported the loss of information from cameras 26 (Azotea / Av. Ancash and Av. Carabaya), 03 (Entrance to Homeless) and 55 (Salón Dorado).
According to the report, camera 26 lost information from 6:03 pm to 6:05 pm Camera 03, from 9:22 p.m. at 9:27 pm and 55 lost “total information” and was only restored at 3:19 pm on August 15.
In his office, the EP officer adds that what happened must be addressed “so that the CCTV continues to operate optimally, and to continue to adequately ensure the comprehensive security of the President of the Republic and his Family, as well as the Government Palace facilities.
However, the fact coincides with the preliminary arrest procedure once morest the president’s sister-in-law that the members of the special team of the prosecution and the PNP were carrying out that same day and at the same time. They arrived at the Government Palace following 5 pm with the conviction, as a result of previous intelligence work, that Yenifer Paredes was in the place.
One of the hypotheses that is handled is that President Castillo’s relative left the presidential residence to enter the Presidential Office, through the Golden Room, and thus evade the arrest warrant (the court order only covered the residence).
The Golden Room camera is precisely one of the ones where information was lost, as well as the ones for the exit of the PCM (Av. Ancash with Av. Carabaya).

Last Friday, President Castillo’s lawyer, Benji Espinoza, had announced that the Government Palace was not going to deliver the videos from the security cameras because they dealt with state secrets there. He even warned that if prosecutors accessed such images, they would commit a serious crime and might even be impeached.
