Peru's Prosecutors Seek 34 Years in Prison for Former President Pedro Castillo
Peru's prosecutors have officially requested a 34-year prison sentence for former President Pedro Castillo. The ex-president was removed from office and arrested in late 2022 following his attempt to dissolve Congress, leading to months of deadly protests and disruptions in the country's vital mining sector.
