The President of the Republic, Dina Boluarte, finds herself in the eye of the storm following the revelation that she received the sum of S/1.1 million of unknown origin in her bank accounts, according to information provided by the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF) of the Superintendence of Banking and Insurance (SBS). Despite the suspicions generated by the detected financial movements, Boluarte has defended the legitimacy of her income, stating that everything she owns is the result of her effort and work. However, the financial intelligence report reveals that the cash deposits and transfers received by the president between the years 2016 and 2022 lack economic justification, raising concerns about possible activities related to money laundering. The UIF investigation details the deposits made into Boluarte's accounts, both individual and joint, reaching a total of S/1.1 million. Particularly noteworthy is the joint account with Néstor Amado Camargo, with whom the president shared the management of the Apurímac Departmental Club, where significant deposits were recorded, especially during 2018, the period in which Boluarte ran for Mayor of Surquillo for Peru Libertario. Likewise, transfers have been identified from one of Boluarte's joint accounts to Vladimir Cerrón, a fugitive founder of Perú Libre, for the payment of civil reparations in a corruption case. These financial movements have cast doubt on the transparency of the president's actions, especially regarding her management at the Apurímac Departmental Club and her ties to affiliates of Perú Libre. The acquisition of a Honda CR-V SUV in 2018, for a sum of US$25,990, has also raised suspicions due to the unknown source of funds used for the purchase, as well as the lack of coherence between the income declared by Boluarte and the amounts deposited in her bank accounts. In light of these revelations, various public figures have expressed concern about the possible commission of financial crimes by the president and have emphasized the need to clarify the facts to ensure transparency and legality in the exercise of power. So far, Dina Boluarte's legal representatives have chosen to remain silent in response to requests for comments, while no statement has been issued from the Government Palace regarding the matter. Peruvian society awaits with attention the outcome of this investigation, which calls into question the integrity and ethics in the management of public resources.
