The Peruvian Prosecutor’s Office has registered this Thursday the country’s Congress in the framework of a preliminary investigation against Jorge Torres Saravia, who served as head of the legal office of Congress, for being behind both an alleged prostitution network within Parliament and the murder of his partner, the lawyer Andrea Vidal, who died in mid-December.
The organization has announced on its social network account
“The Lima Centro Prosecutor’s Office for Human Trafficking Crimes collects information requested from various areas of the Congress of Peru linked to the preliminary investigation against Jorge Torres Saravia, for the alleged crime of sexual exploitation,” he indicated.
In mid-December, the Public Ministry began an investigation against the head of the legal office of Congress, Jorge Torres Saravia, for an alleged crime of sexual exploitation, shortly after his partner, the lawyer Andrea Vidal, died as a victim of a shooting by a group of hitmen in the La Victoria district of the Peruvian capital.
Both led a plot in which Saravia was in charge of finding prostitutes and Vidal of accommodating them within Congress by posing as secretaries or advisors, according to a report by the Willax television network.
The president of the Congressional Oversight Commission, deputy Juan Burgos, maintains that the alleged plot was motivated to obtain the vote of parliamentarians on the different issues to be debated, which is why money is ruled out as a motive for this whole matter. , reports the Peruvian press.
In the midst of this context, a group of deputies from different parties has requested the immediate dismissal of the senior officer of Parliament, Giovanni Forno Flórez, for his “negligence and lack of transparency” in appointing the chamber’s professionals.
In a letter to the president of Congress, Eduardo Salhuana, the parliamentarians have indicated that Forno Flórez, “willfully concealed the identity of the person who recommended and delivered the curriculum vitae of Jorge Torres Saravia, to arrange for his hiring.”
