发布时间：2018-10-25 编辑：查字典英语网小编

LIMA, Sept. 22 -- Peru's Attorney General's Office on Saturday opened a preliminary case against former president, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, for the vote buying allegations that led to his resignation in March.

The authorities said via Twitter that Attorney General Pedro Chavarry decided on Friday to begin proceedings against the former president and a number of other senior political figures.

A variety of charges are being set against the politicians, including alleged bribery, improper use of influence and membership of a criminal gang.

The body also reported the widening of a case against former Agriculture Minister Jose Arista, who is accused of bribery.

Pedro Pablo Kuczynski resigned as president on March 21 after a video showing his allies trying to buy votes from other lawmakers to avoid an impeachment motion.

The former president had survived an impeachment vote in December 2017 for allegedly receiving illegal payments from Brazilian construction company Odebrecht.
