Lima. La Fiscal de la Nación de Perú presentó este martes una denuncia constitucional contra el presidente Pedro Castillo, por el delito de organización criminal en un documento entregado al Congreso, una acción que puede llevar a la suspensión en el cargo del mandatario izquierdista.

"Formulo denuncia constitucional contra José Pedro Castillo Terrones, en su condición de presidente de la República, como presunto autor de los delitos contra la tranquilidad pública en la modalidad de organización criminal agravada por su condición de líder", señala la fiscal de la nación, Patricia Benavides, en un documento difundido en la cuenta Twitter de la institución.
