Controversies

The Wachiturros of Tumán case

In 2008, prosecutor Juan Carrasco reported that congressman Javier Velásquez Quesquén and Héctor Becerril had given political support to the criminal network known as "Los Wachiturros de Tumán."[2] In April 2018, the weekly Hildebrandt referred to that an effective collaborator pointed out that Edwin Oviedo, an alleged member of Los Wachiturros de Tumán, had given money to Velásquez Quesquén and Marisol Espinoza. In March 2019, the technician, Juan Carlos Oblitas, declared before the prosecutor Sandra Castro that he saw these parliamentarians during the Oviedo administration.[3]
