Peru Prosecutors to Question Zhihua Yang on Feb. 18 in Probe of Meetings With President Jerí

The inquiry examines whether Yang’s late-2025 contacts with the president touched a planned 8,000-camera purchase for El Metropolitano.

Overview

  • Anticorruption prosecutor Diana Paico set a reserved interrogation for 3:00 p.m. on Feb. 18 with participation of the case parties.
  • The Fiscalía is coordinating the scheduled proceedings with the National Police’s anti-corruption directorate (DIRCOCOR).
  • Testimonies begin Feb. 17 with ATU chief David Hernández and Congressman Luis Cordero, followed by ex-transport minister César Sandoval on the morning of Feb. 18.
  • Investigators are scrutinizing potential irregular inquiries tied to the Metropolitano’s planned acquisition of 8,000 surveillance cameras, which the ATU head says involved no companies linked to Yang.
  • Yang skipped a Feb. 11 appearance before Congress’s Oversight Commission and asked to delay his testimony there until the criminal probe concludes.
