Peruvian Congress Hire of Influencer Suheyn Cipriani Draws Scrutiny Over Questioned Work Certificate

Congressional allies now frame her role as social‑volunteer work.

Overview

  • An El Comercio investigation reports that Cipriani’s certificate claimed she was an administrator at TYC Brasil S.A.C. from November 2020 to February 2024, yet labor and payment records show no banked wages or social contributions and Sunarp lists the signer acquiring the company only in June 2024.
  • Official documents show then–Congress president Eduardo Salhuana requested her incorporation on April 3, 2025, and she was appointed within about 24 hours as an auxiliary under the personal de confianza modality with a monthly salary of S/4,500 (Resolution 350-2025-DRH-DGA-CR).
  • Visitor logs cited by the press record Cipriani entering Salhuana’s office on August 23 and October 18, 2024, months before the hiring.
  • Salhuana says she volunteered with the Congress Committee of Damas and asserts auxiliary posts do not require professional credentials, while APP candidate Marisol Espinoza states she was brought in for social‑oriented tasks.
  • Cipriani limited Instagram interactions and issued a statement rejecting “malicious insinuations” and saying her visits were to offer volunteer work, and Caretas reports Human Resources is reviewing her file with no official sanction announced.
