Home of Peru’s president, Dina Boluarte, raided in search of luxury watches

The government criticised the move, with Peru’s prime minister calling it ‘disproportionate and unconstitutional’

Peru’s government on Saturday criticised the raid on the home of its president, Dina Boluarte, as part of inquiries into possible illicit enrichment and failure to declare ownership of luxury watches as “disproportionate and unconstitutional”.

Police broke down the door of Boluarte’s residence early on Saturday morning, television images showed, apparently after calls by officials to allow them access to search for evidence went unanswered.
