Peruvian Government Accused of Sabotaging Anti-Corruption Task Force

Peruvian Anti-Corruption Unit Dismantled? Former Diviac Member Levels Serious Accusations Against Government Lima, Peru – Harvey Colchado, a former member of the Diviac (the specialized police unit investigating corruption), has made startling accusations against the Peruvian government, alleging a deliberate attempt to cripple the anti-corruption task force. Colchado claims that equipment used by the Diviac was disabled, leading to the unit's deactivation and the forced retirement of numerous officers. His claims are bolstered by a supporting fiscal thesis. "They deactivated the equipment, leaving us without support," Colchado stated in a recent interview. "Then, they forced us into retirement." Colchado's allegations paint a picture of a government actively obstructing the investigation of high-level corruption. The forced retirements of experienced officers raise concerns about the government's commitment to combating corruption. The fiscal thesis referenced by Colchado further lends credibility to his claims. The situation underscores the ongoing challenges in Peru's fight against corruption and raises questions about the government's actions. The Peruvian government has yet to respond officially to Colchado's accusations. This developing story will continue to be updated as more information becomes available. The implications of Colchado's claims are far-reaching, and their investigation is crucial for transparency and accountability in the fight against corruption in Peru.
