LIMA (Reuters) - Peru's justice oversight board suspended Attorney General Patricia Benavides amid an anti-corruption probe and as protesters on Thursday called on President Dina Boluarte to resign on the anniversary of her first year in office.
Prosecutors allege that over the last six months, Benavides led a team of officials who were coordinating a scheme in which lawmakers facing criminal investigations could be cleared if they agreed to appoint or dismiss certain judges.
