Lava Jato Case Special Prosecution Group Coordinator Rafael Vela on Tuesday affirmed
is willing to collaborate with the team, without any restrictions during the interrogation, in which he will be asked about his links to ex-Lima Mayor Luis Castañeda (2003-2010; 2015-2018) and other cases under investigation.
Recently, Pinheiro revealed OAS had delivered US$200,000 to Castañeda's re-election campaign through Solidaridad Nacional political party officer Martin Bustamante.

"These will be held as the result of effective collaboration, not with Mr. Pinheiro, but with other candidates. I cannot be specific (on that matter)," Vela expressed.
The interrogation took place in Curitiba, Brazil.
