Police agents and prosecutors broke into the residence of the president of Peru, Dina Boluarte, as part of an investigation linked to Rolex watches that were supposedly not declared as part of her assets.
In an operation carried out this Saturday, the authorities entered Boluarte’s home, located in the east of Limaand later searched the government palace in search of the watches whose origin has not been specified by the president.
Images broadcast by local media show how a group of agents break the lock on the main door of Boluarte’s residence in the Lima district of Surquillo, after receiving no response after repeatedly knocking on the house.
According to local media, the raid was approved by Supreme Judge Juan Carlos Checkley, following a request presented by the Attorney General, Juan Carlos Villena, as part of the investigation into alleged illicit enrichment and omission of statements in public documents.

Dina Boluarte, who assumed the presidency in December 2022, has been investigated since March 18 for alleged illicit enrichment and omission of statements in public documents.
In a brief statement on the X network, the presidency reported that the operation in the government palace was carried out “without incident and in accordance with regulations.” However, the government expressed its rejection of the prosecutor’s action, calling it an “intolerable attack on the dignity of the Presidency of the Republic and the Nation it represents.” The chief of staff, Gustavo Adrianzén, told the press that these actions are “disproportionate and unconstitutional.”
