Peruvian prosecutors have extended the preliminary investigation into Rafael López Aliaga, linked to the "Panama Papers" scandal, by an additional 15 months. The original investigation was set to conclude on July 27, 2025. However, the Superior Court has now scheduled the end of the extended investigation for October 27, 2026. This prolongation allows authorities to continue gathering evidence and analyzing financial records related to the allegations. The case centers around potential financial irregularities revealed in the leaked "Panama Papers" documents. López Aliaga, a prominent political figure, maintains his innocence, claiming politically motivated persecution. This extension signals a continued pursuit of the investigation by Peruvian authorities.
