LIMA (Reuters) - Peru's President Dina Boluarte met with state prosecutors for nearly five hours on Friday, answering questions about alleged illicit enrichment involving the origin of expensive jewelry, including various Rolex watches and a Cartier bracelet.

The probe has unleashed a scandal in Peru and prompted the resignation of several cabinet ministers earlier this week, after police and prosecutors raided Boluarte's home and government palace office over the weekend.
