Boluarte, Peru’s first female president, has faced investigations into protest-related deaths and alleged illicit enrichment.
The Constitutional Court of Peru has paused investigations into Dina Boluarte until her term ends in 2026, citing her position as the country’s sitting president.
On Tuesday, the court suspended probes led by the public prosecutor’s office that looked into alleged misconduct under Boluarte.
“The suspended investigations will continue after the end of the presidential term,” the ruling explained.
One of the most significant probes had to do with Boluarte’s response to the protests that erupted in Peru in December 2022, after the embattled president at the time, Pedro Castillo, attempted to dissolve Congress.
