Peru's president José Jerí impeached four months into office
Impeachment four months in suggests potential abuse of power and institutional failure.
Peruvian Congress voted to impeach interim President José Jerí, removing him from office just four months into his term. The impeachment stemmed from a series of meetings with Chinese businessman Zhihua Yang, which were not disclosed and sparked public scrutiny over potential influence-peddling. Jerí has been accused of failing to document official activities and was under investigation for corruption. Peru's Congress will now vote on an interim president.
