translated from Spanish: Allanan headquarters in Peru for the Lava Jato case

The Peruvian Prosecutor’s Office on Friday raided the headquarters of the National Confederation of Private Business Institutions (Confiep), the largest employer in the country, amid investigations into the Lava Jato case.
The break-in of the employer’s office was led by prosecutor José Domingo Pérez, a member of the Special Team investigating the Lava Jato case in Peru, with the support of agents from the High Complexity Crime Investigation Division (Diviac) of the National Police.
Pérez was authorized by Judge Victor Zúñiga to enter the offices of the Confiep, in the financial district of San Isidro, after it was revealed that large Peruvian businessmen made undeclared contributions to the election campaign of opposition leader Keiko Fujimori, investigated for alleged money laundering.
Specifically, according to the judicial authorization document, the prosecutor seeks “any object linked to the political campaign” of the 2011 and 2016 elections, in addition to documents and invoices “linked to expenses, purchases, or under any other title, that he made the Trust for political campaigns” of those elections.
Employer’s reaction
The Confiep stated in Twittter that it “learned, through the press” of the search and seizure order requested by Prosecutor Pérez “for investigations dating back to 2011 for the case of a communication campaign for investment”.
“Since the beginning of the research, Confiep has been collaborating absolutely and entirely on the whole process. It is surprising, therefore, an unnecessary measure that borders on abuse, even more so when the Prosecutor was handed all the administrative and accounting documents of the campaign,” he added.
The employer stated, however, that it “will continue to work with investigations so that they are conducted with integrity and transparency so that the truth is made its way,” although it remarked “emphatically” that it does not promote or finance “political parties or actions political-partisan in nature.”
Support for Keiko Fujimori’s campaign
Over the past week, several Peruvian businessmen revealed that they have made great financial contributions to fund the 2011 election campaign by Keiko Fujimori, who is awaiting compliance with a Constitutional Court ruling that ordered an end to the detention he served while being investigated for an alleged laundering of assets linked to Odebrecht.
The scandal over these contributions, undeclared and with cash delivered, erupted when Dionisio Romero, the chairman of the board of the Credicorp group, the largest in the country, revealed the $3.65 million in 2011.
