are "under threat," which is why he decided to wear a bulletproof vest again at the Cocktails case oral trial hearing.
In an interview with Canal N on Tuesday night, the magistrate said that "an unusual intervention" against him was recently conducted by two police agents from Escuadron Halcones (Hawks Squad).
"I immediately filed a complaint at the San Borja (district) police station," said Perez, who said he hoped this situation will be clarified.
Likewise, Perez recalled that last Friday the driver of the vehicle assigned to him by the Prosecutor's Office was verbally threatened by a person —a situation that has been reported to the Attorney General's Office, he said.
Briceño Case
Regarding the statement issued by the National Confederation of Private Business Institutions (Confiep) rejecting the inclusion of its former Chairman Rafael Briceño in the Cocktails case, Perez indicated that said businessman bears responsibility.
The magistrate pointed out that Briceño had "usurped" functions inherent to the aforementioned guild's chairmanship "in order to collect assets which he later allocated to the Fuerza Popular campaign and not for the purposes that he had supposedly announced to various important businesspeople in the country."
Perez indicated that there are witnesses within "our country's main business groups," who state that Briceño had convened them, on behalf of Confiep, at a premise that was not that of the organization, to create a "fund" aimed at financing Keiko Fujimori's candidacy for president.
The magistrate also mentioned that the then-chairman said he had not commissioned such task.
