Secret Nose Job Allegations, ‘Rolexgate,’ and the Curse of the Peruvian Presidency
- Peruvian President Dina Boluarte is struggling with numerous controversies, including criticism over a concealed cosmetic surgery procedure and a major corruption investigation, amid ongoing protests sparked by Pedro Castillo’s removal in December 2022.
- These issues arose as Boluarte's near two-week absence for plastic surgery in summer 2023 sparked controversy over her failure to inform Congress or delegate powers, which she denies.
- In March 2024, police raids at Boluarte's home and presidential palace uncovered the 'Rolexgate' scandal, involving accusations of bribery with luxury watches and illicit enrichment.
