April 24 (UPI) -- Peru's National Police raided the home of former election chief Piero Corvetto on Friday as part of an investigation into alleged irregularities during the country's April 12 general election.
The investigation includes allegations of aggravated collusion, improper appointment of officials, false statements in administrative procedures and delays or refusal to carry out official duties, according to local media reports.
