NewzFormer Peruvian President Ollanta Humala compared the Lava Jato special prosecution team to the Colina Group, a military death squad active during the Alberto Fujimori administration. The remarks were made on August 25 in Lima, following Humala's previous legal battles involving the Lava Jato corruption investigations.
Humala’s comparison centers on his criticism of the prosecution's conduct during legal proceedings against him. The former president, who served from 2011 to 2016, specifically referenced a prior 15-year prison sentence he received in a process that was subsequently declared illegal, using this history to characterize the current prosecutorial team's methods as abusive or politically motivated.
