Overview
- Users led by Lucero López posted chats, audio clips and a video alleging Rodrigo Barco collected pooled payments for 'juntas' and did not return roughly 18,000 soles to participants.
- An audio attributed to Rodrigo includes language threatening to block and stop responding to people who publicize the debt, and other users came forward with similar complaints after the initial post.
- Rodrigo issued a public comunicado saying a close person left him indebted and that he had stayed silent about the matter for three years, denying direct personal culpability for the funds.
- Jesús Barco contacted at least one complainant, said 'el que está fallando soy yo' and promised to take responsibility for arranging repayments, with media reporting a small partial refund of 1,000 soles.
- No police reports, court filings or independent financial records have been cited in coverage so far and reported totals vary, so the exact amounts and any legal consequences remain unclear while public pressure continues.
