According to a statement on X, President Boluarte is being investigated for deactivating a special police squad probing Nicanor Boluarte’s alleged influence peddling on Thursday night, ahead of his arrest Friday morning.
- President Boluarte has not responded directly yet, but a Presidential spokesman said that disbanding the special police group had nothing to do with a cover-up.
- On the data front, the macro calendar is empty today, with focus turning to March economic activity and April unemployment data, due on Wednesday.
