Acuña said the attacker has asked to terminate the contract and said he is working on an agreement for an amicable resolution. “I understand Paolo.

They called his mother and threatened her”, he said. said the leader.

The concern is due to the wave of violence experienced by Peru. Trujillo, capital of Libertad and third most populous city in the country, has decreed a night curfew and limited various individual freedoms for 60 days.
