Peruvian lawmakers question MTC chief over corruption probes

Congressmen from Obras, Renovación Popular, and Ahora Nación criticize the appointment of José Tangherlini as head of Peru's Ministry of Transport and Communications, citing ongoing investigations for embezzlement and concussion disclosed in his sworn statement. The criticism signals political friction over the appointment, though no formal action has been taken. This is a domestic political development with no direct market impact.
