Ariana Orué obtuvo un escaño tras el fallecimiento de Enrique Wong. El próximo mes cumplirá dos años como congresista por el Callao.

Overview

  • Reporters published on Sunday chats, screenshots of Yape and Plin transfers and testimony from three former staffers that they were required to make periodic contributions for campaign work and other costs.
  • Ex-staff say collections covered both campaign items such as a S/30,000 billboard and personal expenses including visa fees, court-related payments and the purchase of a high-end phone.
  • Two former employees say a December demand sought S/49,000 total with S/1,800 asked per person and that refusal could lead to dismissal.
  • Investigators note that transfers and chat records naming contributors do not match Orué’s ONPE campaign report, which lists total declared receipts of S/29,728.
  • Orué denies wrongdoing, the Congressional Ethics Committee has opened a preliminary probe, and the case could trigger further inquiries by electoral authorities or administrative sanctions if undeclared receipts are confirmed.
