![]() 1314 Thursday, 08 December, 2022, 13:06 Peru's ex-President Pedro Castillo has been detained, after his efforts to dissolve parliament instead ended in him being thrown out of office. In a dramatic day in Lima, Mr Castillo was accused of plotting a coup in a last-gasp bid to avoid impeachment on corruption charges by Congress. The move sparked international and local outrage, and lawmakers moved quickly to remove him from office. His Vice-President Dina Boluarte was later sworn in as his successor. |
