Peru: 70% believe Fuerza Popular, Apra political parties protect ex-Attorney General

13:08 | Lima, Jun. 18.

70% of Peruvians believe Fuerza Popular and Apra political parties are protecting former Attorney General Pedro Chavarry, a Datum poll revealed Tuesday.

According to the survey, 19% think the two above-mentioned political parties are not protecting Chavarry, while 11% did not know about the matter or did not answer the question.

Fuerza Popular is the party created by former presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori. She currently serves a 36-month preventive detention in Lima over alleged money laundering charges.

For its part, APRA is the party formerly led by ex-President Alan Garcia, who died over a self-inflicted shot to the head after authorities arrived at his home with a preliminary detention order linked to the Odebrecht case investigation.

As is known, Chavarry step down as Attorney General last January. He became very unpopular due to his controversial decisions, which affected the Lava Jato Case Special Prosecution Group. However, he remains as Supreme Prosecutor at the Public Ministry.

In Peru, the Public Ministry and the Attorney General are independent from the Judicial Branch.

Back then, his successor Attorney General Zoraida Avalos affirmed the Port's While Collars criminal organization indeed existed, and it was not a "badly-written script" as Chavarry —an alleged member of the gang— had claimed.

Furthermore, 40% of Peruvians are not willing to vote for the same political parties —if parliamentary elections take place— or would vote blank.
