Carlos Maravi, the editor-in-chief of “La Republica” newspaper,
was recently the target of a threatening letter that was sent to
him as well as to other media outlets. The threat was made
because, according to the letter’s contents, the newspaper had
reportedly defended the former President of Peru, Alan Garcia
Perez. In particular, the letter stated that “La Republica”
columnist Mirko Lauer had taken part in a meeting in which “were
drawn up plans to exculpate Garcia Perez of charges of
embezzlement that were to be heard by the Supreme Court.” During
this meeting, those present agreed to “bribe” the presiding
judges with one million dollars in order to obtain a favourable
verdict for Garcia. The letter also alluded to the involvement of
various political figures.
The anonymous group that sent the letter added that it would
initiate a campaign so that the public would know the details of
“this little-known event,” and so that all those involved in it
would “be put in their rightful place.”
