Lima- Peruvian newspaper, Perú21, has reported that several new documents have emerged from Brazil that would complicate the judicial situation for ex-presidential couple, Ollanta Humala and Nadine Heredia. The pair are currently being investigated for alleged money laundering offences.

 A source at the Peruvian Public Prosecution office told Perú21 that they have received new documents from the Brazilian authorities, which concern ‘criminal activities’ that the couple are alleged to have committed during the electoral campaigns of the Peruvian Nationalist Party.

 The anonymous source told the paper, “The documents are arriving and are being processed. One part has already been added to Magistrate Juárez’s file.”

 Head prosecutor, Germán Juárez, is now awaiting authorization from Brazil allowing him to interrogate those implicated in the Odebrecht case. These new documents come just days after Juárez announced he would be travelling to Brasil to accumulate further evidence.

 The pair have denied any wrongdoing and deny having received illicit funding to use during their electoral campaigns.

 Nadine is still awaiting the outcome of her latest hearing regarding the travel restriction placed upon her by the Peruvian authorities. The judges announced that they were voting on the matter and would give their verdict within the next 20 days.
