Boluarte asks to reschedule statement on alleged plagiarism

Lima, Jul 31 (Prensa Latina) Peruvian President Dina Boluarte asked to reschedule her statement to the Prosecutor's Office, planned for this Monday, in a preliminary investigation into alleged plagiarism in a text she co-authored with seven other lawyers.

The request’s briefing, submitted to the Second Provincial Criminal Prosecutor’s Office of Crimes against Intellectual Property, did not receive such a request from the president.

In this regard, the document does not specify the reasons for the postponement.

The initial investigation referred to the journalistic complaint of plagiarism in 55%, detected in “The recognition of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law” text, which includes the eight co-authors.

The inquiry was motivated by the fact that this document was presented as part of her curriculum vitae to the National Registry of Identification and Civil Status to assume a position as civil servant, but not in the one she presented before becoming minister, nor in the one she presented as president.

Boluarte kept silent for several days, until she stated that the text was not a book properly speaking, but a private academic document, which was not sold and prepared only to be circulated among a limited group of people.
