Likewise, it was decided to expand the investigation once morest Yenifer Paredes and open inquiries to Hugo Espino and the mayor of Anguía, Nenil Medina, for the alleged commission of the crime of criminal organization.
As explained by Latina, this originates from an emergency decree issued in September 2021 by the Minister of Housing, Geiner Alvarado. Said decree had a list of works to finance on water and sanitation issues, among which was the work won by the company Destcon Ingenieros y Arquitectos.
There are another 28 works on the same list, so the Public Ministry suspects that they may have obtained the good pro in a fraudulent manner and there is an alleged criminal organization.
Faced with these facts, the special team of prosecutors recommended the report to the Attorney General’s Office to open an investigation once morest Pedro Castillo and the head of the Ministry of Housing.
