Peru Congress Summons Key Witness Amid Prostitution Scandal
The Peruvian Congress is set to summon Jorge Torres, former head of its legal service, over allegations that he led a prostitution ring within the parliament. Reports indicate that Torres, affiliated with the right-wing Alliance for Progress (APP), organized unethical employment of women and has denied the accusations. This investigation is part of a broader inquiry into potential sexual exploitation crimes following the murder of his former assistant, Andrea Vidal, who reportedly recruited women for the illicit activities. The Congress President, Eduardo Salhuana, expressed disbelief at the situation.
