Peru police raid president’s home over Rolexes

LIMA—Peruvian authorities raided President Dina Boluarte’s home on Saturday as part of an ongoing corruption investigation.

A police document obtained by AFP said officials searched for Rolex watches that Boluarte had not declared. The raid “is for the purpose of search and seizure,” police said.

Earlier this month, authorities launched an investigation into Boluarte following a newspaper report about her wearing luxury watches of mysterious origin that had not been declared in public records.

Saturday’s raid, a joint operation between the police and the prosecutor’s office, was broadcast on local television channel Latina.
