Congress votes to remove centrist on bribery allegations after earlier attempt failed
Peru’s Congress has voted to remove President Martín Vizcarra in an impeachment trial over corruption allegations – the second such effort to remove him in a matter of months.
The opposition-dominated Congress, following a debate, achieved the 87-vote threshold out of 130 needed to oust the centrist leader over accusations that he accepted bribes as a governor from companies that won public works contracts.
