He said all envelope seals were broken this week. The process took place at the Prosecutor's Office in the presence of Mr. Kuczynski's lawyer.
According to Chavez, all the procedures are requested by the Prosecutor's Office and authorized by the Judicial Branch. Plus, they are conducted without prior consultation of the parties concerned to ensure their effectiveness.
