PERU: ‘Biggest organised crime web since Montesinos’
What started as an investigation into corruption in the regional government of Áncash, the coastal region just north of Lima, has led to the uncovering of what is being described as the biggest organised crime network in Peru since the days of Vladimiro Montesinos, the head of intelligence under the disgraced former president, Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000). It involves government officials and members of the police and the judiciary, in large-scale corruption, money laundering and the drugs trade.
