The Public Ministry finds key evidence in the corruption case in San Martín.

The Public Ministry has taken a significant step in the case of 'Los Waykis en la Sombra' (The Waykis in the Shadows) by uncovering crucial documents that could reveal irregularities in the process of appointing sub-prefects in the San Martín region. During an operation conducted at the Provincial Sub-Prefecture of Tarapoto, Team 5 of the EFICCOP found evidence pointing to possible political manipulation in favor of individuals close to Nicanor Boluarte, who is currently a fugitive.

Sub-prefect Mery Pinchi Ramírez was responsible for providing the documents requested by the Prosecutor's Office, demonstrating the collaboration of some local authorities in the search for the truth. According to the initial evaluations of these records, suspicions would be confirmed regarding how the criminal network was operating, which allegedly appointed individuals aligned with Boluarte to key positions in order to advance political and economic interests.

Nicanor Boluarte, brother of President Dina Boluarte, has been identified as the leader of this criminal network. Investigations suggest that 'Los Waykis en la Sombra' pursued a clear objective: to place allies in various prefectures and sub-prefectures to facilitate the collection of signatures and contributions aimed at the registration of their political party with the National Jury of Elections (JNE). This strategy not only reflects irregular management of resources but also a lack of transparency in government appointments.

The situation becomes more serious as it is noted that, to date, Boluarte and other implicated individuals, such as Jorge Chingay and Jorge Luis Ortiz Marreros, have been in hiding since November 2024, after being subjected to a 36-month preventive detention measure. This decision was made by Judge Richard Concepción Carhuancho, who has classified the actions of the accused as part of a criminal organization operating in the shadows.

The political context in which this case unfolds is particularly delicate, given that it involves individuals close to the presidential circle. The implication of high-profile figures in a criminal network has the potential to erode public trust in institutions and in the government itself. If the veracity of the accusations is confirmed, it would not only open a new chapter in the fight against corruption but could also have significant repercussions on the stability of the current regime.

Furthermore, the government's response to this scandal is crucial. So far, President Dina Boluarte has not issued any statements regarding her brother's situation or the implications this case may have for her administration. The uncertainty surrounding her position could create an environment of instability and distrust that affects not only her management but also the political future of the country.

The actions of the Public Ministry continue to be subject to analysis and scrutiny, and the population expects firm action to clarify these events. The evidence found could be decisive in the outcome of this investigation, which has captured the attention of civil society and the media.

The case of 'Los Waykis en la Sombra' highlights the need to strengthen institutions and ensure that all public officials act with the utmost transparency and responsibility. At a time when citizens demand accountability, the outcome of this investigation will have a direct impact on the perception of justice in the country.

Finally, the current situation also underscores the importance of committed investigative journalism, which not only informs but also contributes to the denunciation of acts of corruption. Civil society plays a crucial role in monitoring its authorities and demanding a government that fulfills its duties ethically and transparently. The fight against corruption in Peru remains a challenge, and the case of 'Los Waykis en la Sombra' serves as a reminder that the truth must prevail.
